Creamy Fresh Fruit

Again sorry for the lack of picture. I will add one the next time I make it. The title of this dessert is deceiving because while it is creamy, it does not actually contain fresh fruit. It is a cream pie that is drizzled with canned pie filling. I suppose you could top with fresh fruit and it would be delicious but that's not what the recipe calls for.
This is about the most simple and delicious pie you could ever think to make. It is best the second day, but it is a crowd pleaser either way. We got this recipe from my sister-in-law Mandy and her days working at Pasta Factory. It is a dessert they still serve there today. But you can enjoy it in the comfort of your own home or take it to your neighbors house when you are invited over for dinner, because it is so easy to make if you have the ingredients you can throw it together as quick as it can can be consumed.

Creamy Fresh Fruit Pie

8 oz Cream Cheese, softened
1 c. sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
2 c. heavy whipping cream
9 inch Oreo cookie crust

1. In a small bowl cream together cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla.
2. Whip the whipping cream until stands up in the middle. Fold in the cream cheese mixture with whipped cream until completely mixed.
3. Pour and spread into Oreo cookie crust.
4. Let Chill in the fridge for a couple of hours (or a day)
5. Serve in slices topped with your favorite canned fruit pie filling. (I like tart berries best, raspberry or black berry pie filling)

  1. Sounds fantastic and summery! Reminds me of a recipe I just found (but haven't tried yet): http://blogs.babycenter.com/life_and_home/luscious-lemon-icebox-pie/ It's a lemon pie that has very similar ingredients.
