Passion Fruit Cheesecake Pie




Philadelphia Cream Cheesecake Pie

1 (9 inch) prepared graham cracker crust
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy.
Add condensed milk and mix thoroughly.
Stir in lemon juice and vanilla.
Pour into crust. Chill 2 hours.
top with can of cherry pie filling, chilled,
or fresh raspberries, or the pulp, seeds, and juice 
from several passion fruit.

Years ago I made this occasionally with the canned pie filling,
but when a friend sent me some passion fruit I just had to make
this pie with the fruit.
Normally I would have made the crust from scratch, but
decided to try to pre-made graham crust.
It definitely saved time and mess in my kitchen.

Oh my!  This pie was delicious with the passion fruit.
Have you ever had such a treat?  Delicious!!!!

This looks like an easy recipe for what must be a delicious pie. I've never thought of using Philadelphia cream cheese in this way although I do buy it often for eating as a spread on crackers. I expect it's similar to mascarpone cheese. Thank you for the tip and I wish you a good day Marilyn.

What a fabulous way to use the passion fruit! I can practically taste that yummy treat! Alas, our summers are not long enough for the passion fruit to do its thing.
