It's very peaceful...listening to the water trickle down into the gutters as the snow on our roof melts. Today it was 40°F and the bright sunshine filled my Computer/ Sewing room as I was typing. Yesterday, my hubby used our
Snow Rake to remove snow from the edges of our roof. We are not looking for a repeat of the
winter of 2011! The water moving downward is a welcoming sound today.

Tomorrow is a day of
FuN! It's always great to make a fave dessert for
Valentine's Day! So many to choose from. Suddenly, the vision of a
Creamy Cheesy Pie appeared! It's an easy dessert that my mother-in-law tempted me with so many years ago.

| Ingredients |
We were visiting in the sunny state of FL during the winter. The week before I had baked a delicious creamy Cheesecake. Much Cream Cheese, Sugar, a homemade crust, and much prep time in my creation. After sampling the first bite of her treat, I knew I'd never spend that much time again using my recipe.
Hers was so easy...hers was so tasty...hers was a lot less effort! It was delicious! From that time on I make it for a special occasion.
Valentine's Day is definitely a special occasion this month!
Creamy Cheesy Pie
Ingredients:
(1) small pkg. Cook & Serve Vanilla Pudding Mix
(1) pkg. 8 oz. Cream Cheese
(2) Cups Milk
(1) Pre-made Graham Cracker Pie Shell
Method:
- Prepare Pudding according to package directions.
- Place Cream Cheese in a medium bowl.
- Pour hot Pudding over Cream Cheese and whisk until smooth.
- Pour mixture into Graham Cracker crust. Smooth mixture to crust edges.
- Cool - maybe 30 minutes and cover with plastic wrap. I leave small amount unwrapped on edge.
- Refrigerate overnight.
- Cut into slices. Add whipped cream on top.
- Place berries on the side.
- Refrigerate remaining pie to enjoy again. Yum!
- My family uses 1% Milk, so I add 1 Tablespoon powdered milk into pot before making pudding.
- Sometimes I substitute Neufchatel Cheese for Cream Cheese.
- I use Jell-O brand pudding mix, because when using the Jell-O brand I do not burn the bottom of the pot. :)
My older son has made a
Chocolate Creamy Cheesy Pie - using Chocolate Cook & Serve Pudding.
Happy Valentine's Day!!!
Enjoy!
Yummy!

That pie sounds delicious. I have a confession to make...we love Jello Cheesecakes...you know the kits that come with everything. I'm a homemade cook mostly but they are wonderful. Your pie sounds really similar. :)
Happy Valentine's Day.
Stacey- The Jell-O cheesecakes do sound similar. This, with cook & serve pudding, also takes about 15- 20 minutes. :) So easy!

These flavors combine so well that it this no wonder that these cakes have remained so popular. I'm glad that rake was put to good use. Have a wonderful day. Blessings...Mary
