BLACK CHERRY CREAM CHEESE PIE
This is a wonderfully cool and delicious "no bake" pie (except for the crust.) It has a flaky pastry crust with a smooth, sweet and tangy cream cheese layer topped with jelled fresh black cherries. The flavors are amazing, even if I do say so myself!

Steps:
- *NOTE: Several hours of waiting are required for this recipe. Prepping and freezing cherries early in the morning, or even the day before serving, is advised.
- Wash, stem and pit cherries. Cut into halves or quarters onto a rimmed baking sheet or pan that will fit in your freezer. Place in freezer for minimum of one hour before proceeding.
- After cherries are frozen, and at least 2 hours before serving, bake pie crust according to package instructions (or use your favorite pastry crust recipe.) Allow crust to cool before proceeding.
- Use electric hand mixer to beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and lemon juice; beat well.
- Add one cup (1/2 container) of whipped topping; beat until well combined.
- Scrape into prebaked crust. Spread evenly over crust, pushing up at the edge to create a slight rim (see photo.) Set aside.
- Remove cherries from freezer; loosen from pan, breaking them apart if necessary.
- Pour cherry gelatin powder into a medium/medium-large mixing bowl. Bring one cup water to boiling; pour and stir into gelatin powder; stir until completely dissolved (about 2 minutes.)
- Add cherries to hot gelatin; stir until gelatin just begins to thicken; immediately pour on top of pie, spreading quickly and evenly out to cheese rim.
- Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving. Serve with reserved whipped topping, if desired. Refrigerate leftovers.
