This is one of my favorite, fast and delicious recipes for when I need a dessert in a hurry. The hubby likes this too, he calls it his "cheese pie". I usually make it plain with a graham cracker crust, that's the way he likes it, BORING! So I made it a little different this time, dressed it up a bit. I used a pre-made Oreo crust and topped it with cherry pie filling, for a Black Forest Cheese Pie. I scored points for this one, he loved it!

Simple ingredients make this super easy dessert. Oh, and save that plastic insert on the crust, that's your lid for the pie.
Whip the cream cheese and sugar with an electric mixer.
Make it smooth, just like that in the bowl. Then add a container of whipped topping, I used light.
Fold the topping in half at a time, by gently turning the bowl and lifting from the bottom as you fold it in. Be careful, you don't want to deflate the fluffiness of the topping.
All topping is folded in.
Time to fill the crust.
Load it all in there and spread it out. I used a small pallet knife to finish off the top.....
...so it looks pretty. Refrigerate for 3-4 hours.
Slice and serve, delightful and so easy to make!
Black Forest Cheese Pie
Ingredients
2 - 8 oz. pkgs. of cream cheese, room temperature
2/3 cup sugar
1 - 8 oz. container of whipped topping
1 pre-made Oreo crumb crust
1 can cherry pie filling
Directions
In a large mixing bowl beat the cream cheese with the sugar, until light and fluffy with no lumps. With a spatula, fold in the whipped topping half at time, by gently turning the bowl and lifting from the bottom as you fold it in, be gentle, you don't want to deflate the topping. When all is incorporated, spread the mixture evenly in the crust, and smooth out the top. Cover with the lid, and refrigerate for 3-4 hours so it sets up. Slice and serve and top with cherry topping.
