Hiya ..
I make a drop dead delicious and MAJORLY easy 'Cheesecake pie' .. the topping is almost a can of your favourite pie filling .. I have used Cherry most often as it's just so good.
This past summer I picked blueberries, made and froze some pies, but I also froze some loose berries. I'd like to make those berries into a topping for the cheesecake.
Obviously this is going to require cornstarch and sugar .. but in what amounts, and how many cups of berries?
Does anyone have a site or a suggestion ..?
The following is the recipe ;
I graham cracker crust/or Shortbread crust (bought or made)
I 8oz pkg of cream cheese
2 cups (or more) :-) of Cool Whip
1/3 cup of icing sugar
Can of pie filling
Soften the cream cheese (in a pinch I put it in the microwave on defrost for a minute or 2) . Mix cream cheese and icing sugar together .. add the Cool Whip .. continue to mix until until sorta smooth.
Pour/scrape, into the Graham crust (or shortbread crust) .. smooth out leaving kind of a raised edge so as to hold the can of pie filling a bit better. As I said .. I TRY to use the whole can of pie filling, but sometimes it's not possible.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
If you have purchased your crust, the plastic insert makes an excellent LID inverted over the cheesecake in the fridge :-)
