"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.

Thanks for this lovely recipe. First time ever to make a baked cheesecake.Followed the advice of jdkahle by mixing some cream cheese with the melted butter and adding sugar to the phyllo pastry, excellent tip. simply delicious. Filling nice and moist, unlike many baked cheesecakes.Will definately make again.

I'm not fond of phyllo and don't think a traditional pie crust is appropriatet for cheesecake but we love graham cracker crust for cheesecake. I made a graham cracker crust from scratch and with the blueberries, I added raspberries that I recently picked. I used canned whipped cream and put on each slice as I served. Delicious!

We love this. I don't put the whipped topping on top; I squirt whipped cream on each piece I serve. We preferred a graham cracker crust. Delightful!

We really enjoyed this recipe only I used ready made graham cracker crust. That combination really tasted great.

The crust was not as tasty as I thought it would be. I may try this again with a regular pie crust or graham cracker crust. I think I will add some slice strawberries to the jelly layer too. The filling was very good!

Why use strawberry jelly when fresh strawberries are handy?

It was a little plain tasting. I definitely expected it to be better. but i would like to try brushing the crust with the cream cheese and sugar.

When I made this pie, since I don't care for crust either, I added 3 tablespoons of softened Cream Cheese to the butter that I was brushing the Phyllo dough with, after brushing each piece I then sprinkled it with small amount of sugar and continued until I reached the final layer which I also brushed with the butter/creamcheese mixure and sprinkled with sugar.  I also pricked holes in the bottom of the Phyllo Dough to avoid the bubbling of the crust.  This was a wonderful, Thanks for sharing the recipe.

I prefer a graham cracker crust with cheesecake so I used a ready-made graham cracker crust. I mixed seedless raspberry jam with the strawberry jelly, also. This pie is so delicious. A great way to use up an abudance of blueberries and strawberries. Definately a keeper!
