No bake pie recipe for all occassions
Now I’m not the best baker in town, but I have a pie recipe that even those of us with a non-floured thumb can make. I usually make this pie about a couple of times a year. A must for New Year’s Day and any other occasion that someone asks me to bake a pie.
The best part is you DON’T HAVE TO BAKE THIS PIE! Once again this recipe has been handed down to me from my mother who I must admit was the best baker of all times. But whose mother isn’t?
She found this Dream Whip Cherry Cheese Pie recipe on a dream whip box many years ago and maybe you can still find it on the dream whip box today.
Pie Shell:
Go to the supermarket and buy – yes buy – a graham cracker crust pie shell. I tried to do my own graham cracker crust shell but I found that the store bought kind works just as well. They make two sizes – I always take the bigger size because you can get more slices.
The pie shell lid has directions on how to get the graham cracker crust to brown up. Believe me this is easy to do. Just crack an egg in a bowl. You need to separate the yolk from the white. Use that egg separator that I’m sure you got from a Tupperware party many years ago! Mix up the egg white and brush it onto the graham cracker pie shell. Okay, this is the ONLY part of the pie you need to bake. Follow the directions on the oven temperature and time and you’ll have a nicely browned shell.
Onto the pie filling – I promise this is a no bake pie – Honest!
Take out that mixer that your mother-in-law gave you many years ago. You will finally get to use it!
Pie filling:
1 – 8 ounce package of cream cheese
1 cup confectionery sugar (powdered sugar)
1 Dream Whip package – if you want it more creamier use 2 dream whip packages
1 can cherries in syrup
In a small mixing bowl, mix together until creamy the cream cheese and powdered sugar. Set it aside.
In a larger mixing bowl dump in the Dream Whip package and follow the directions on the package on how to make a creamy dream whip filling.
Pour in the cream cheese mix into the Dream Whip mix. Mix all together until the mixture stands in peeks.
Once the filling is done, pour the filling into the graham cracker crust shell and then slowly pour the cherries on top.
Refrigerate over night.
Now wasn’t that easy? You will be the hit of any dinner party when you serve this pie for dessert. Aren’t cherries one of the food groups that is suppose to be good for you? Well there you go you are serving something nutritious as well.
Until later,
Linda
