Cherry Cream Cheese Pie is a no bake cheesecake dessert that my whole family loves. My Dad would always request this pie or his birthday or around the Holidays. He loved it.
The Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk mixed with cream cheese gives this pie an awesome creamy texture. Sometimes I'll just eat the cherry pie filling right out the can it's so good by itself LOL.
Cherry Cream Cheese Pie comes right off the back of the Eagle Brand condensed milk can. I have to laugh whenever I make this pie and try to take a picture of it. It is not a very picture worthy pie but it is damn good! You can see that in my pictures and video.

Ingredients Needed
- Cherry pie filling (no sugar added) - instead of Cherry Pie filling use strawberry or blueberry!
- Package cream cheese (fat-free) - I like to use Reduced-Fat Cheese because it has a lower calorie count and less saturated fat than regular cheese, but it may also have a different taste and texture. It also helps with keeping the calorie count pretty low for this rec
- Eagle brand sweetened condensed milk (fat-free)
- Lemon juice - use the lemon juice that comes from the bottle
- Graham cracker pie crust (reduced-fat) or crushed graham cracker crumbs mixed with melted butter
- Vanilla extract - It is made by macerating and soaking vanilla beans in a mixture of water and Vodka. Use a good pure vanilla instead of the imitation vanilla extract.

Substitution Tips
- Different fruit topping: Swap in blueberry, strawberry, or mixed berry pie filling if you prefer.
- Homemade crust option: Crush light graham crackers and mix with a little melted light butter to make a homemade lighter crust.
- More citrusy: Add an extra tablespoon of lemon juice if you love a really bright, tangy flavor.
