Quick and Easy Cream Cheese Pie image

This dessert is a favorite in our family-- we use it for family reunion's, party's, and all our "get togethers". My mom taught me how to make it-- I'm not sure where she got it from though.

Time 10m

Yield 2 pies, 20-24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese (Philadelphia or generic is fine)
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1/3 cup lemon juice concentrate
1 -2 tablespoon cream of tartar
2 (9 inch) Oreo cookie pie crusts or 2 (9 inch) prepared graham cracker pie crust, if you prefer
2 (16 ounce) cans cherry pie filling (optional)

Steps:

  • Set the 2- 8 oz packages of cream cheese in a microwave safe container and place in the microwave to soften.
  • At 30-second intervals, check and stir the cream cheese until it is like a soft butter consistency, not melted.
  • Combine cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, and lemon juice in a bowl and blend until smooth.
  • While blending, gradually add cream of tartar to mixture until mixture is stiff.
  • Pour mixture into the prepared Oreo cookie pie crusts.
  • Pour the cherry pie filling over the mixture (1- 16oz can of pie filling per pie).
  • These pies are ready to eat immediately after preparation; however, if desired, you can place the pies in the fridge over night to chill.
  • This dessert is also pretty tasty when it's frozen.
