Notes
Ingredients:
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk (Eagle Brand)
- 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 (9 oz) graham cracker crust
- 1 (21 oz) can cherry pie filling
Instructions:
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. If the cream cheese isn't soft enough, it may result in lumps.
- Add the Sweetened Condensed Milk:
- Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk, beating until the mixture is smooth.
- Mix in Lemon Juice and Vanilla:
- Mix in the fresh lemon juice and vanilla extract, making sure everything is well combined. This step ensures the filling will set properly.
- Assemble the Pie:
- Pour the cream cheese mixture into the graham cracker crust and refrigerate for at least 3 hours to allow it to firm up.
- Top and Serve:
- Top with cherry pie filling (you may not need the entire can) and refrigerate again before serving.
