Cherry Torte

I love most any recipe with cherry pie filling in it!

Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter or margarine
1 cup sugar
3 eggs
2 cups flour
2 tsp. baking powder (sifted with flour)
1 tsp. vanilla
1/8 tsp. salt
1 can cherry pie filling

Directions:

Cream butter and sugar; add eggs, one at a time, and beat well. Add dry ingredients, sifted 3 times. Add vanilla. The dough will be thick. Put about half the dough into a greased oblong pan about 9x12 inches. Pour cherry filling over dough in pan. Spoon remaining batter over cherries. It is not necessary to cover all of the filling; it will fill in during the baking. Bake in 325 degree F oven for 45 minutes or longer if necessary.

Servings: 8-10

Prep Time: 15-20 Minutes

Cooking Time: 45 Minutes

1/2 box confectioner sugar
small tub of Cool Whip
1 can pie filling(your choice) I am using cherry

Mix it altogether and pour into a ready made Graham Cracker crust

Refrigerate a few hours(I like to make mine a day ahead)

Voila! Best darn cheesecake you have tasted and no fuss, no bake.

Hope this helps Carolyn (11/22/2006)

RE: Cherry Pie Dessert Recipe

1 stick (1/2 cup) of margarine
2 cups crushed graham crackers
2 cans of cherry pie filling
8 oz. cool whip
1/2 bag miniature marshmallows

I put the stick of margarine in my pan and put it in my oven until it melts. When the margarine is melted, I add the graham crackers and mix and pat to make the crust. I add the 2 cans of cherry pie filling on top of the crust, then I mix the cool whip with the marshmallows and put this on top of the pie filling. Chill and serve. I love this recipe, too.

RE: Cherry Pie Dessert Recipe

Here you have the Cherry Pie Dessert Recipe:

Ingredients

1 (20 oz.) can pitted sour cherries
1/4 cup white sugar
1 envelope (1 tablespoon) unflavored gelatin
2 egg yolks
1/8 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. almond extract
1/4 teaspoon red food coloring
2 egg whites
1/4 cup white sugar
1 cup heavy cream, whipped
1 (9 inch) graham cracker crust

Directions:

Let cherries sit in juice with 1/4 cup sugar for 2 hours. Drain juice off cherries into a saucepan. Soften gelatin in the cherry juice. Mix in egg yolks and salt. Cook on low heat, stirring constantly, for 4 minutes, until gelatin dissolves. Remove from heat and stir in almond extract, red food color, and cherries. Chill until thick, but not coagulated.

In a large glass or metal mixing bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Gradually add 1/4 cup sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Fold into cherry mixture. Fold in whipped cream until no streaks remain. Pour into graham cracker crust. Chill in refrigerator.

I hope it will be helpful. (11/22/2006)

RE: Cherry Pie Dessert Recipe

When I was in the store recently, I saw a tub of Philadelphia Cream Cheese that was already sweetened for a pie. It is a nice size tub. All you have to do is put the mixture in a purchased graham cracker crust. Then you put on the pie filling on top. Talk about easy? Super! Linda (11/22/2006)

My brother makes something called a Cherry Yum Yum maybe you can find it on allrecipes.com or here in thriftyfun. I don't have time to look it up, but it is wonderful and you can substitute the cherries with pineapple. Both are delicious. Good Luck (11/27/2006)
