Cherry Cheese Pie
This Eagle brand cherry cheese pie is a family favorite. My mother-in-law makes this for us when we she comes to town and my kids have renamed it “grammy” pie. We love this for summer because it is an easy no-bake dessert. Buy a ready made crust and this dessert will be ready in minutes. For best results use freshly squeezed lemon juice. Make sure to take the cream cheese out of the refrigerator ahead of time. You could vary with different types of pie filling for the top layer. I am sure there is a better homemade everything version of this dessert, but no one is complaining so for summer we will stick with this simple no-bake treat.
