Berry Cheesecake Pie
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. Bake: 35 min. + chilling
YIELD: 6-8 servings.
Since I don't care for traditional pie crust, I usually eat only the filling. That changed when I discovered this unique dessert. Boasting a luscious cheesecake flavor, the recipe gets creative with phyllo dough. —Deanne Causey, Midland, Texas
Ingredients
-
8 sheets phyllo dough (14x9 inches)
-
6 tablespoons butter, melted
-
2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
-
1/2 cup sugar
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
2 large eggs, room temperature, 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
-
1.
Place 1 phyllo sheet in a greased 9-in. pie plate; brush with butter. Repeat 7 times; trim edges. (Keep remaining phyllo covered with plastic wrap and a damp towel to prevent it from drying out.)
-
2.
Bake at 425° for 6-8 minutes or until edges are lightly browned (center will puff up). Cool on a wire rack.
-
3.
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.
-
4.
Bake at 350° for 10 minutes; cover edges with foil to prevent overbrowning. Bake until center is almost set, 23-27 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack for 1 hour. Refrigerate until chilled.
-
5.
In a small bowl, beat jelly until smooth; spread over filling. Spread with whipped topping. Garnish with strawberries and additional blueberries if desired.
