Ingredients

Scale

Pie Crust

  • 1 pre-made flaky pie crust

Cherry Filling

  • 2 cups fresh or canned cherries

Cream Cheese Mixture

  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out your pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish, trimming any excess. Poke a few holes in the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling.
  2. Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well incorporated. Gently fold in the cherry filling until evenly distributed.
  3. Assemble the Pie: Pour the cherry and cream cheese mixture into the prepared crust, spreading it out evenly. If you have leftover pie crust, you can create a lattice top or cut out decorative shapes to place on top.
  4. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. Allow the pie to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth filling.
  • If using canned cherries, drain them well to avoid excess liquid in the pie.
  • Allowing the pie to chill enhances the flavors and makes slicing easier.
  • Add a sprinkle of powdered sugar or fresh cherries on top for a beautiful finish.
  • Fresh cherries will provide a superior flavor compared to canned options.
