Preparation and Chilling
The beauty of this recipe lies in its simplicity and the minimal time you need to spend in the kitchen.
Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Chilling Time: Overnight
Servings: 2 pies
Ingredients
- 1 can cherry pie filling
- 1/2 cup butter
- 16 ounces sour cream
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 16 ounces marshmallows
- 2 regular size Keebler ready graham pie crusts (save the plastic covers for later)
Directions
- Begin by preparing the filling. In a medium-large bowl, thoroughly mix together the sour cream and cream cheese until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps. Set this aside.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Gradually add marshmallows, stirring constantly to prevent sticking. Continue to stir until the marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Working quickly, pour the marshmallow mixture into the bowl with the sour cream and cream cheese. Stir swiftly and thoroughly to combine into a smooth cheesecake filling.
- Divide the cheesecake mixture evenly between the two graham pie crusts. Smooth the tops with a spatula to ensure an even layer.
- Cover each pie with the plastic covers that came with the pie crusts. Place the pies in the refrigerator to set overnight, ensuring they become firm.
To Serve
Once the cheesecake is firm, top each pie with cherry pie filling. You can also explore topping it with other fruits of your choice for a different twist. Serve chilled.
Tips
- For best results, ensure that all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing to achieve the smoothest texture.
- If you’re not a fan of cherry, this recipe works wonderfully with other pie fillings such as blueberry, strawberry, or even a lemon curd for a tangy alternative.
Enjoy your Cherry Cheesecake, a creamy, dreamy dessert that promises to be as satisfying as it is beautiful!
