This was so easy and delicious! A fluffier and lighter taste (less tart) than the usual cherry cream cheese pies I make, so it’s good to have this one as an option as well. I didn’t have any issues with it setting.
My family LOVES this!
Fantastic
Have made this recipe for years. The last time I made it I forgot to add the sugar and no one noticed. I use 2 packages of cream cheese to 1 carton of CoolWhip. I also add toasted, sliced almonds to the graham cracker crust before adding the CoolWhip/cream cheese mixture. I usually use a can of cherries to which I have added almond extract. Quick, easy and light. A family favorite.
Made once & again today for Thanksgiving with my sweet potato pies as well. You really can’t go wrong with this simple, delicious dessert pie! Enjoy!
I didn’t have lemon juice but I have everything else. I’m gonna try a tbsp of lemon tea and vanilla . Hey its my only alternative. But still is so awesome. I used to make it every Christmas and take to parents my dads all time favorite and mine too
this came out so easy and tasty! I wanted to make it more low-sugar, so used 1/4 cup Splenda in place of regular sugar; also used Reddi Wip instead of the tub stuff, which only needed about half a can (just kind of eyeballed to the right consistency); then added some cinnamon, clove and ginger to my “no sugar added” cherry pie filling. came out just right consistency and very tasty, my hubby even requested it again and again! Real simple easy winner!
This was wonderful. So easy to make, light and delicious, and not too sweet. I would have given it 5 stars but I slightly altered the recipe by adding some almond extract to the cherries.
This is a light, fluffy cheesecake filling that is Delish! I did substitute Splenda for the sugar in the recipe. No one would notice that substitution if you didn’t mention it. This lovely pie would make a great Valentine’s Day dessert…or Washington’s Birthday! Have fun in the kitchen and enjoy your dessert!
It’s OK… It’s not WONDERFUL but it’s OK for a no bake. It’s not bad. It’s fast to make. If i ever need a recipe for a fast pie i’ll probably make this again.
I was surprised at how easy this was to make, and the end result was delisssssssssssssss. It became my favorite after the fist bite. This on is a real keeper

love. sooooooooo good.
very good
This was really really good! As a cherry lover (alias Cherryman), this was perfect. I tweeked a few quantities to fit our pie tins. Thanks for the great recipe.
I made it and my kids all most hurt them self over this pie
Followed some advice from other reviews before I made it, and used powdered sugar instead of granulated and only used 1 1/2 cups of cool whip and it turned out great and was easy to make.
This was pretty good. More like 3 1/2 stars really. I used a shortbread crust, used confectioners sugar and added a tsp vanilla. My kids loved it but I felt like I was eating cherry pie filling on top of whipped cream. I would make it again but I think I’ll either increase the cream cheese or decrease the whipped cream.
A big family favorite, disappears rapidly. I do use a graham cracker crust though.
I love this pie. It’s so easy to make! I always have my little ones make it with me, because it’s that easy! Something to throw together quickly & taste even better. Only thing in the recipe that I changed was that, I used powered sugar vs. regular sugar. It blends better. This is a family favorite in my household.
It didn’t have enough of the “cheese-cake” type flavor that I expected. In fact it was just kind of sweet but boring. I will try it again, but I’m going to cut the whipped topping and add a little extra cream cheese and see if that works to make this pie awesome.
