One of my favorite desserts to make back when I didn’t know how to bake yet.
This is no-doubt very easy but you need to make it in advance because it needs some time to chill in the fridge before serving.
It’s been a long while since I last made this and I have quite forgotten how light and creamy and velvety it is, quite different from a baked cheesecake but delicious in it’s own way.
I wouldn’t want to be left alone with this especially when I’m hungry..
Prepare the graham crust.. you need to pack it really well (don’t mind my photo, I wasn’t done with the crust yet).
Whip the cream cheese and sugar, then the cream and fold gently to combine,
pour into the prepared crust and chill for at least 2 hours.
Then add the pie filling on top.
..and dig in! YUmmmmmm!!
