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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
