Cherry Cream Cheese Pie Tips
How can you avoid a runny or lumpy cherry cream cheese pie?
To ensure a lump-free pie, make sure the cream cheese blends in smoothly with the rest of your batter. The best way to do this is to allow cream cheese to soften at room temperature before mixing. Out of cream cheese? Check out these

How can you make cherry cream cheese pie your own?
If you're short on time or simply want to experiment, try using crushed-up
graham crackers or chocolate cookies to make a quick and easy crust. For a bright punch of color, consider swapping the layers to put the cheesecake layer on the bottom and the cherries on top.
How far in advance can you make cherry cream cheese pie?
Because this pie needs refrigeration time, it's a great make-ahead dessert! You can make yours up to 5 days in advance if stored in an airtight container in your refrigerator. You can also freeze the pie for up to 3 months. Simply let it thaw before you dig in. Check out all the ways you can make a
cream cheese pie for your next party!
