Cherry Cheese Pie

[@Esha911]

I use only 3/4th of the 14 ounce sweet and condensed milk. Using 3/4th of the can makes the pie base less loose and it sets up way better. I let it setup for 3 hours in the fridge or 2 hours in the freezer. After that I place only half the can of cherries on top because an entire can of cherries is way too much and way too sweet. When done this way, when you cut the pie, the cherries are not slipping and sliding off of the cream cheese base. It’ll cut just like you’re cutting a nice slice of pound cake. Nice, silky, soft and smooth in the mouth. I’ve been making this since I was 11 years old and I am in my 40’s now.

[@righirecording9951]

Thank you thank you thank you! I just again made this pie and it did not set… so elusive! I just tried with all ingredients and mixing bowl cold… didn’t help. I think what you wrote is spot on: less condensed milk, and less cherries putting pressure on the filling. Another comment says to use 1/2c of lemon juice… maybe that made more of a reaction for a firmer set?? I’m 46 and my mom made this for us all the time. Now I make for her and bring it to the home.

[@SamFam3]

Mine did not set either

[@kathieshirley]

I have been making Cherry Cream Cheesecake since 1974! Buy ready Graham Cracker crust. Pie filling 1 can condensed milk, 1 block cream cheese, 1/3 c lemon juice & 1 tsp vanilla extract. Mix & pour into GC Crust, refrigerate for a couple hours. Top with 1 can cherry topping! Everyone begs for it every holiday!

[@cindyschell4462]

I have such a vivid memory of my mom finding this recipe in a magazine ad and when she made it for the first time. It was called Cherry-O. Cream Cheese Pie. It became a family favorite

[@comesitatmytable9044]

What a great name! Thank you so much for watching our channel and we love that you are at the table with us.

[@comesitatmytable9044]

I love that name for it. Thank you so much for watching.

[@judefrazier4727]

When I smell certain foods cooking it evokes many memories for me from the past with my parents and grandparents, or certain events from years ago. Yes it is a wonderful thing….my youngest son loves cherry cheesecake, and whenever I make it, it takes me back to when the boys were teenagers, and laughter in the kitchen.

[@deeann424]

I'm a 72 yr old woman and this is one of my favorite desserts. My mother-in-law used to make this every 4th of July. I'm going try the strawberry for Christmas. Thank you for doing this video.

[@marietroutman4584]

I am just loving your videos. You and your wife are such a joy. I live in Pittsburg and love cooking shows. Yours is one of the best. God Bless you both.

[@kathychamblee]

The cool thing about this pie, if you don't have cherries on hand, blueberry or strawberry works good too. So easy to make . Thanks for your videos.

[@jackiecordell9210]

I love y’all’s videos, and that you are so kind and can tell you love The Lord.❤️🙏

[@cherylrios8487]

I've been making this exact recipe since the early 1970's except I use almond extract rather than vanilla. Same for a baked cherry pie. There is no substitute for almond extract when using cherries! Also, be very sure to STIR in the lemon juice and flavoring. Otherwise the pie will not set. Love your channel and, being from KY myself (but living in TX) I am trying many of your recipes!!!

[@carolburke9351]

I made this pie last week it is one of my son's pie he loves .thank for sharing all your recipes ..

[@dorishaynes5165]

I’m so thankful to the Lord for giving us the ability of memories. They are so precious.

[@jonathangrandonsilvasmith538]

Everything you are using, and even the brand names, is precisely correct, and of course, the lump-free mixing technique is spot on. Thank you; this makes me so happy. My mother would make one just for me during the Christmas holidays with less cause I love the cream cheese best. And yes, Comstock cherry pie filling is the best topping and traditional to my childhood memories. I am making one now after seeing your excellent video. Thank you for sharing and bringing back childhood memories. Jonathan

[@Rebeccawilliams-pb1us]

I have got to stop watching you guys, my mouth is watering!! I love the memory of my Mom, bringing me a piece of this pie home to me , from a church dinner, that she was a part of. I don't know whether to cry or make one now, myself. Thanks so much.

[@donnacooper3838]

I made this today for my Husband and he Loved it. Thank you for sharing and giving of yourself. ❤❤❤

[@kathyreams3249]

Like you Tom, I started making this at a very young age as well. It's one of my childhood favorite comfort foods. Thank you!

[@christineherndon5613]

My Mom used to make this dessert & cherry pies when I was younger back in the 60's as my Dad loved them. She always added a teaspoon of almond flavoring to them she said it cut the tartness of the cherries & boy did it taste yummy. Made me think of her & how she loved the holidays. Also she also would brush her cream pies with egg white before baking & it kept the crust from becoming soggy. Actually there really wasn't much left to get soggy, lol. Enjoy your videos & your leftyness as both of my boys are leftys.

[@comesitatmytable9044]

Your mom’s desserts sound terrific! I can’t imagine there would have been much leftover! Merry Christmas!

[@trudepettigrew7339]

Looks delicious. I pour hot coffee in the condensed milk can. LOL. Gets every drop and it's oh so good, but then, I love sweet coffee.

[@garfieldrupe630]

Watching you cook reminds me if my Mama. She passed away in December 2009. She was a wonderful cook. She never taught me because we found out when I was 11 or 12 that I am an epileptic. I don't think she wanted me to get burned on the stove top of I had a seizure. Thank you for all your wonderful recipes.

[@kaywages-ch6pq]

This was my husband's favoritce pie. Been making this for over 50 years and the only difference is i use 1/2 cup lemon juice ; all other ingredients are the same. Glad you love it too.

[@bjohnson1149]

Perfect pie for Valentine's Day too.

[@junesimpson1581]

Tom &, Melissa I love your video and wish I would have had you both as my teachers. ❤

[@lisatruaxbell]

Beautiful job. Food does bring memories. God bless you.

[@kattytj1]

Thank you for sharing your recipes and memories. I will definitely try it soon. Greetings from Morelia México

[@bodeansmith8173]

My favorite 🥰💛💚🙏Oregon🙏

[@kevingrabkowski5505]

ok i want to feel its 1971! im making tonight for my birthday. Thanks great job

[@sharoncarlisle7089]

I made a similar pie for my family, we called it cake pie... SOOOO good...

[@rhonavoss8531]

Hi Tom/Chris and Melissa.. this recipe brought back memories of my mother.. She made these pies often and always with cherry pie filling.. Thanks for the reminder and it made me smile !… Don’t Forget To Put A Lid On It !

[@shirleytaylor2069]

I made this when I was younger and then as I got older I wanted to make it again and forgot what all went in it.thanks you.

[@margaretbedwell3211]

I used to make a pie in summer with eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed milk and the juice of three lemons. Mix well with a spoon. Stir in one 20 oz. can crushed pineapple in its own juice but WELL drained. Pour into a pre baked 9" crust or graham cracker crust, chill in refrigerator for several hours. Top with cool whip or homemade whipped cream. I have always baked the store bought graham cracker crust for any pie...it makes it just a bit crisper and adds a bit of extra flavor...about 10 to 1 minutes at 350 degrees, allow to cool completely before adding filling. I think you will enjoy this pie as much as I enjoy your cherry cheese pie. NOTE: Well drained pineapple is important so the mixture sets up nice to slice.

[@patricefrank369]

I'm going to make this for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Looks yummy!!!

[@jacquelineteague3545]

Oh i want some it looks amazing

[@comesitatmytable9044]

We hope you can enjoy some soon. It's simple to make yet very delightful! Thank you for watching our channel.

[@janebrown3587]

Yeah, baby! Nobody knows what I'm talking about when I mention this pie. This has been my all-time favorite dessert since I was a kidlet in the '60s! Mom would make three of these for the days she hosted her Bridge Club ladies. She used vanilla and almond extract. The extra pie was for us 😀 because there would never be any leftovers from the ladies card playing. I still make it on occasion and I make the crust extra thick because that's the way we like it, lol! Your channel is wonderful! ❤

[@janebrown3587]

Replying to myself. A strong cup of coffee/cream with this pie is incredible. I use semisweet chocolate chips when I can't find the pie filling - it can be hard to find where I am. It's gooooood, too, but the cherries are the best.

[@Teaally1913]

Y’all are so clear and easy in giving directions.

[@comesitatmytable9044]

Thank you, Allison! We appreciate you watching.

[@chrism1164]

Looks delicious! Great close-up pie photography!

[@janetclassen1144]

When I use cherry pie filling, I always stir in 1 tablespoons sugar & 1 teaspoon of almond extract per can. U would be surprised how good it tastes. Yes I have also made this pie for probably the same amount of years. I’m 76. I also make pumpkin pie with egg nog in place of canned milk. Just sayin 😊

[@patriciamurashige6879]

I love how you don’t want to leave any little bit behind!! It used to bug me when I would watch these professional cooks left stuff behind. I mean seriously… how could they do that?!?! So get it all in there!!! All your recipes are fun to watch!!!

[@cathylongstreth5405]

This looks so yummy! Especially with all the hot weather we have been having this August. Thinking cool thoughts right now😂

[@beverlydavidson1359]

Yummy!!! Salivating on my phone watching this (in my imagination). Lol Another winner...love how easy your recipes are, especially since I can be a kid in the kitchen. 😊

[@comesitatmytable9044]

We always appreciate easy recipes. And this one has a unique memory for Tom from his childhood. We hope you enjoy it!

[@lindahunley-ge6ml]

Hi Tom and Melissa! I love cheesecake ❤ but I’m not a fan of graham cracker crust. I would rather have a short cake crust and I think it tastes better. I love watching your videos and making your recipes. Thank you’ens for sharing! ❤

[@clairenason4869]

I have been baking with my grandchildren for years. They are now 21 and 16. Recently some of your recipes. They make good food taste better, but the memories are priceless. My grandson wanted to make baklava, I had never made it but we did it. He took a dish to college with him to share with his friends.

[@comesitatmytable9044]

We LOVE that you all made the baklava and he took it back to college with him! That has made our morning! We’re actually driving to our daughter’s house right now and I read your comment to Tom. We are so glad you made sweet memories together and shared it with us. Hope his friends love the baklava!

[@sonniecampbell1788]

Yum!! I’ll be making this. Thanks for sharing!

[@susancalhoun9171]

I’ve made this in a muffin pan and made individual little pies. Just press graham cracker crust in the bottom. Use festive cupcake papers.

[@cathygordon-hallman4816]

I started making this in 1968 for my boyfriend. He loved it! I was 13 and I had always heard to win a boy was through his stomach…it worked. He didn’t win the prize(ME) and I quit making them. I think I will make it today for Thanksgiving tomorrow. 😊😅

[@lorimendenhall411]

Yummy

[@shweetpotato]

Thank you so much, I have one in the fridge right now , can't wait to dig into it.

[@sammyhakimvlogs5608]

This Cherry Cheese Pie recipe looks so delicious 😋 Mr. Tom.

[@CindyHunt784]

I have made this many times before. This is always sooooo gooood! Have a good day. 🌻🌼

[@kathyfischer5983]

The pie didn’t set up, but I don’t know how it would. I would prefer to make the one with eggs and bake it, but yours looks very tasty. A hint, when you use the pre made graham cracker crust, on the back of the paper it suggests to bake the crust before you fill it. That is for when you are not making a baked pie. It is not necessary, but it does make a difference. I love your videos and how organized you are.

[@leealexander3507]

I also learned to make this when I was a child and I think I'll start making it again but I'll probably make changes at times

[@comesitatmytable9044]

Recipes are generally very versatile! Make it your way and enjoy! Happy Thanksgiving!

[@Margaret-Willow]

We made the cherry pie last night and had it for breakfast this morning. It was very yummy and will become a staple recipe in our holiday menu. Thank you for a delicious and easy recipe, God Bless.

[@patrickschardt7724]

Cream cheese and fruit just works. Melissa threw you under the age bus😂

[@comesitatmytable9044]

You’re right- cream cheese and fruit are a winning combination! And technically if I hadn’t corrected the year he would have implied he’s ten years older than he really is! 😀 We appreciate you watching our videos. Merry Christmas!

[@donnacooper3838]

Love you guys channel. Gonna make this today!

[@jeremyleemcdonald]

This looks delicious! You’re correct about foods and memories. My grandmother made a variation of this dessert for our family gatherings and I loved it so much as a kid she’d make me one to take home. Her recipe used cream cheese, Cool Whip, and sugar along with the cherry pie filling. I’m going to give this one a try!

[@ShirleyAkers-nq2up]

I'm looking for a recipe called: Mocked Apple Pie , made with zucchini

[@margaretbedwell3211]

That is the one I make too. I also stir a bit of Almond extract in the cherry filling before putting it on top. My MIL taught me that, cherry and almond go together.

[@joannbishop892]

This is what I make, also. It's even easier than this one.

[@dolliemaesone]

Oh I love these pies ! Soooo good 😊❤

Prayers. Maybe rent or borrow a wheelchair temporarily.?

Praying for you sister 🙏🏻

[@dorismikolajczak5278]

Prayers. Could you use one of the "scooters" like they use when someone has foot surgery or would that put pressure on your knee?

[@jolynnsholmire2785]

I'm putting you on my prayer list. I'm 77 and waited over a year and a half for two much needed surgeries. Finally called the doctors office every two hours. On the 2nd day she got busy and scheduled both surgeries for the same day. Have not had a pain since. I'm wishing you the best. May God grant you the same results.

It is such a great recipe and even though we tend to make it more around the holiday season, it would be very refreshing at this time of year, too.

Looks sooo good but I'm dying to know what was in your crock pot - lol!

My daughter, who is 54, had to have this for her birthday every year and even now I don’t have to ask.

[@patrickschardt7724]

I’m not a huge cherry fan either but in a few desserts it’s the go to fruit. Cherry cheese pie, chocolate cherry cobbler, maybe even chocolate cherry chess pie Maybe do chocolate graham crackers and little bit of cocoa powder to the cream cheese mixture

This sure does look delicious. But all your stuff looks so good. I think if i make this even in a single pan i would make the crust homemade. I never have much luck with store bought ones. They are hard to get out of the pan. Thank you for the recipe.😊

There is no need to slowly add the condensed milk. Just takes longer is all that happens.

[@laurencemartin2797]

My recipe passed down through the family was, cream cheese, 1/2 cup of sugar and 1 Pkg of Dream Whip. No vanilla, no lemon. Dream Whip was before Cool Whip and you had to make it. Every time I make this dessert, it is the ultimate hit for family and friends.

[@southerngrits920]

My fav is cool whip condensed milk plus lemon juice no pie crust. I am going to make this minus the crust.

[@prettypeach70]

That’s OK Tom, if you don’t like cherries pass them on to me I absolutely love cherries anything cherries
