CHERRY CREAM CHEESE PIE RECIPE
  

4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup confectioners sugar
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped, or Cool Whip
1 - 9 inch pie shell, baked
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup lemon juice
3 cups Montmorenci tart cherries, pitted

 

In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch, water and lemon juice until smooth; stir in cherries. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Cool. 

In a small mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and confectioners' sugar until smooth. Fold in whipped cream. Spread cream cheese layer into pie shell and spoon cherries on top.   Refrigerate until serving.  

NOTE:  You can substitute a 32 oz. jar of Apple Valley's cherry pie filling instead of making your own.    Just make the  cream cheese, confectioners' sugar and whipped cream filling, spread in the bottom of a baked pie shell and top with the cherry pie filling.
