Easy and delicious!

Yum! There are 2 servings left of Creamy Cheesy Pie in our fridge. Yes!! This weekend we had a taste of 90° F temperatures when both Saturday and Sunday were in the low 90°'s.  After listening to our weather forecasters, it was the perfect time to make a Creamy Cheesy Pie to enjoy after dinner. My mother- in- law introduced me to this very tasty treat. After she shared her recipe so many years ago, I was so surprised how little time it took to prepare.

It is really easy to prepare, too! There are 4 ingredients here. That is unless you also use 1% fat milk like we do. In that case 1 Tablespoon powdered milk is also added into the pot before preparing the pudding mix.

Before serving a slice of this delicious pie, I spread a small amount of Freezer Jam on top. Oh, it will be the newly made Strawberry Flavored Freezer Jam! Then a squirt of Reddi-wip whipped cream tops it off.

It is so good! There are 2 servings waiting in our fridge! Add the ingredients to your grocery list.

Enjoy!
Yummy!

How many years have I been making Creamy Cheesy Pie??  It has been so many.  Actually, a few decades!  Years ago my husband & I were in Florida visiting his parents when I first tasted this yummy dessert.  After enjoying dinner my MIL served cheesecake with fresh fruit.  Now, cheesecake is always so hard for me to resist.  It was so yummy that I asked her for the recipe!  The ingredients were milk, cream cheese and a package of pudding (to prepare on the stove).  Was I ever surprised!  The instructions were so easy, too! 

At home the week before I had baked a cheesecake that required more than one package of cream cheese and it was baked in a springform pan.  There were many step by step directions, too.  Considering the time it took me to prep the cheesecake I had made and how easy my MIL's was to prepare, this one has become a fave with me!  Oh, the one I had made was delicious, but why spend extra time prepping a food when there is another option? 

Creamy Cheesy Pie is also a fave here, because it is a recipe handed down to me!

If and whenever you happen to be looking for a simple, yet very tasty dessert, prepare this if your family enjoys cheesecake!

• I use 1/3 less fat cream cheese when I make it, now.  It's because I'm always trying to reduce cholesterol when cooking. 

• I also use 1% Milk + 2 teaspoons powdered dry milk when prepping any pudding mix.

My mother- in- law introduced me to Creamy Cheesy Pie.  It was decades ago when Jim & I visited his parents in Florida.  Two weeks before arriving, I had prepared a cheesecake that took 2 hours to prepare.  After making the pie crust shell, the filling was prepared.  Then, the cheesecake was baked.  It tasted so delicious, but it was so time consuming.

On this particular visit to the sunny state I was introduced to a very easy dessert.  After dinner one night, we all enjoyed our dessert- Creamy Cheesy Pie.  It was served with a little whipped cream on top.  Oh, it was so good!  My MIL told me it was a "cinch" to make.  She was not kidding!!!  One 2- serving box of vanilla cook & serve pudding was prepared & it was combined with 8 ounces of Cream Cheese.  Then, the mixture was poured into a pre-made graham cracker crust.  Into the fridge it went to cool.  O.K. , now that is easy!!!  It's not only easy, it tastes so good!!! 

No, I never went back to preparing that other Cheesecake again.  ;) 

This is a dessert I make "every so often".  Cheesecake has always been a favorite dessert of mine.  Polish Cheesecake, Carrot Cheesecake & Key Lime Cheesecake are quite hard to resist in my book.  This one is too!!!

A Few Hints:

•  My family uses 1% Milk, so I add 1 Tablespoon powdered milk into pot before making pudding.
  

• I use Jell-O brand pudding mix, because I do not burn the pot when I use the Jell-O brand.  :)

• My son has prepared a delicious Chocolate Creamy Cheesy Pie using chocolate pudding mix.
