This classic cherry cheesecake pie celebrates the red, white, and blue!
CHERRY CREAM CHEESE PIE
Cherry Cream Cheese Pie is perfect for a picnic or a 4th of July party, and the smooth and creamy cheesecake pie filling in graham crust will surely be a crowd-pleaser.
During my growing-up years, I remember my mother making this cherry cheesecake pie in the summer around July 4th, depending on what day it fell on closest to the weekend.
She always would have to make two of them so there would be enough to go around.
July 4th always meant barbecue chicken, potato salad, baked beans, and corn of some sort would be on the menu.
July is when the corn is ready to pick, and on July 4th, we were shucking corn and putting it in the freezer. Right now, memories of how we spent our July 4th are flooding! Oh, how I loved those days!
This pie introduced in the 1950's when two products, Philadelphia Cream Cheese and Eagle Brand Milk, came together, to create a pie known then as the "Cherry-O Cheese Pie".
Over the years, the name has changed from No-Bake Cherry Cheesecake Pie to Cherry Cream Cheese Pie, which I know today as Cherry Cheesecake Pie.
One thing that hasn't changed is the ingredients--graham crust, cream cheese, condensed milk, lemon juice, vanilla, and cherry pie filling.
Cherry cheesecake pie is unbelievably easy and quick to make, requiring only to be set in the refrigerator to set up. Yes, no baking is required. Enjoy!
