"Since I don't care for traditional pie crust, I usually eat only the filling of pie," writes Deanne Causey of Midland, Texas. "That changed when I discovered this recipe." Boasting a luscious cheesecake flavor, this pretty pie gets creative with phyllo dough.

Berry Cheesecake Pie Recipe
  • Prep: 20 min. Bake: 35 min. + chilling
  • Yield: 6-8 Servings
20 35 55

Ingredients

  • 8 sheets phyllo dough (14 inches x 9 inches)
  • 6 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1/2 cup strawberry jelly
  • 1 cup whipped topping
  • Sliced fresh strawberries and additional blueberries, optional

Directions

  • Place one phyllo sheet in a greased 9-in. pie plate; brush with butter. Repeat seven times; trim edges. (Keep remaining phyllo covered with plastic wrap and a damp towel to prevent it from drying out.)
  • Bake at 425° for 6-8 minutes or until edges are lightly browned (center will puff up). Cool on a wire rack.
  • For filling, in a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth. Add eggs; beat on low speed just until combined. Fold in blueberries. Spoon into crust.
  • Bake at 350° for 10 minutes; cover edges with foil to prevent overbrowning. Bake 23-27 minutes longer or until center is almost set. Cool on a wire rack for 1 hour. Refrigerate until chilled.
  • In a small bowl, beat jelly until smooth; spread over filling. Spread with whipped topping. Garnish with strawberries and additional blueberries if desired. Yield: 6-8 servings.

Editor's Note: If using frozen blueberries, use without thawing to avoid discoloring the batter.

My husband & I Loved it! Yes a little extra work using the phyllo dough which made it different but it was wonderful. Will use the same dough when I make my next apple pie!

Creamy and delicious. The pie was gone in a flash which means that the next time I make it for a family gathering I will make 2 Berry Cheesecakes! I think we now have a new family tradition.

This was a fantastic dessert for the fourth of July. It was really pretty easy too. Substitutions - I used a graham cracker crust and lite Cool Whip to cut some calories and fat, and I put strawberries over the jelly layer and then raspberries on top of the Cool Whip. Definitely would make again!

I only figure up the carbohydrates for my son, so I can help with that. If you make your crust using 1 1/4 c. crumbs, 4 T butter, and Splenda the crust will have almost 88 carbohydrates. Using your ingredients, 1/6th of the pie will be almost 24.5 carbohydrates and 1/8th of the pie will be almost 18.25 carbohydrates. If you need to know the calories and fat you can figure those up if you have the Calorie King book. I use mine all the time to figure out the carbohydrates. It takes time, but it helps keep my son's blood sugar within range.

This was deeeeelicious! To lighten it up a little I used splenda, one reg. cream cheese and one neufchatel cheese, graham cracker crust, put a layer of strawberries on top of jam and used light whipped cream on individual slices. Will definitly be making this again and again!

OK, as a diabetic I ask, if you use low fat cream cheese, splenda, graham cracker crust, no sugar type jelly, what is the carb ct/nutritional value per serving? Anybody know?

Could you use a butter spray instead of actual butter on the phyllo?

I would make this in a 9-inch springform pan vice a pie plate. Not so sure about the phyllo because of the calories. You can substitute lo-fat cream cheese and reduced-fat jelly if you'd prefer. If you're going to use whipped topping, do yourself a great favor and make your own--it's easy! Whip 1 cup of cream in a stand mixer using a whipping attachment. Ship until soft peaks form. Add sugar--you can do this to taste, but start off with at least 2 tsp. Whip until stiff peaks form, then proceed with the recipe. You can double the recipe to get the quantity needed for this size cheesecake. For the crust use 1 1/2 cups graham crackers (pulse in a food processor until smooth), 3 tbs melted butter, and 1 tbs sugar. Combine and press into bottom and slightly up sides of springform pan. Bake 10 minutes at 350 and then let cool.

It was very good. I didn't have phyllo dough so I used a graham cracker crust instead. First brushed on beaten egg white to prevent crust from getting soggy. Then baked it in a 350 oven for 5 minutes before adding filling. Yummm.....
