Cherry Vanilla No Bake Pie Recipes

CHERRY VANILLA NO-BAKE PIE

Steps:

• If baking the crust, preheat oven to 350°F.
• Combine the cookie crumbs and all but 1 tablespoon of the butter. Stir to combine. Add the remaining butter if needed to moisten the crumbs.
• Press gently into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie or tart pan.
• For a baked crust, bake for 10 minutes. Otherwise, place the crust in the refrigerator while you make the filling.
• Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until thoroughly combined and smooth. Mix in the preserves.
• Place the cream in a separate bowl. Using an electric mixer with a whisk attachment, whip the cream at high speed until soft peaks form.
• Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, mixing just until combined.
• Transfer the filling to the crust and spread evenly. Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.
• If you like, garnish servings of the pie with sweetened whipped cream and sliced almonds.

NO-BAKE CHERRY CREAM CHEESE DESSERT

Steps:

• Combine cracker crumbs, butter, sugar, and salt in a bowl until all ingredients are mixed together well. Divide graham cracker mixture between 8 dessert dishes, about 2 tablespoons of mixture per dessert dish.
• Beat cream cheese in a separate bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add sweetened condensed milk and beat in until well blended. Beat in lemon juice and vanilla extract. Spoon 1/4 cup of cream cheese mixture into each dish on top of the graham crackers. Top each with 1/4 cup of the cherry pie filling.
• Serve immediately or chill until ready to serve.

OLD-FASHIONED CHERRY VANILLA PIE

Steps:

• Make dough:
• Cut butter into pieces. In a bowl with a pastry blender or in a food processor blend or pulse together flour, salt, butter, and shortening until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add 5 tablespoons ice water and toss or pulse just until mixture forms a dough, adding additional ice water, a little at a time, if dough is too dry. Divide dough in half and flatten each piece into a disk. Chill dough, wrapped in plastic wrap, at least 30 minutes and up to 3 days.
• Make filling:
• In a small bowl stir together sugar, tapioca, salt, and cinnamon. In a large heavy skillet cook fresh or frozen cherries over moderately high heat, stirring, until slightly softened, about 2 minutes. With a slotted spoon transfer cherries to a heatproof bowl. Add sugar mixture to cherry juices in skillet and simmer, stirring, until thickened, about 3 minutes. Stir cherry sauce and vanilla into cherries and cool.
• Line lower rack of oven with foil and preheat oven to 400° F.
• On a lightly floured surface with a floured rolling pin roll out 1 piece dough into an 11-inch round (about 1/8 inch thick). Fit dough into a 9-inch (1-quart) pie plate, leaving a 3/4-inch overhang. Pour filling into shell and chill, loosely covered with plastic wrap.
• On a lightly floured surface roll out remaining dough into an 11-inch round (about 1/8 inch thick) and with a sharp knife or fluted pastry wheel cut into 1-inch-wide strips. Working on a sheet of wax paper set on a baking sheet, weave pastry strips in a close lattice pattern. Chill or freeze lattice on wax paper on a flat surface 20 minutes, or until firm. Brush edge of filled shell with cold water and slide lattice off wax paper and onto pie. Let lattice stand 10 minutes to soften. Trim edges flush with rim of pie plate and crimp decoratively. Gently brush lattice top with cold water and sprinkle with sugar.
• Bake pie in middle of oven 45 minutes, or until pastry is golden and filling just begins to bubble, and transfer to a rack to cool slightly. Serve pie warm with ice cream.
