Equipment

Ingredients

  • Gluten Free I use Mi-Del, see notes
  • 12 oz 1.5 {8 oz} packages full fat cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice fresh or bottled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup full fat sour cream
  • 1 cup Cool Whip
  • 1 cup pie filling I used strawberry for the one pictured
  • Fresh fruit and/or chocolate for garnish optional

Instructions

  • Whip cream cheese with a mixer for 2 minutes (I used a KitchenAid with the whisk attachment). Scrape sides with spatula.
  • Add sugar and whip another 2 minutes. Scrape bowl with spatula.
  • Add lemon juice, vanilla, and sour cream. Beat about a minute until smooth and thoroughly mixed, scraping bowl with spatula if needed.
  • Gently fold in cool whip with spatula.
  • Spoon mixture into pie crust and smooth.
  • Spread pie filling over the top, leaving about 1" around the edges for the cheesecake layer to show.
  • Refrigerate overnight, garnish with toppings if you want, slice, and serve!

Notes

This recipe is easy to customize using different flavor crust/pie filling. Here are a few ideas:
  • Black Forest: use a chocolate graham crust + cherry pie filling
  • Lemon Gingersnap: gingersnap crust + lemon curd or pie filling
  • Strawberries and Cream: regular graham crust + strawberry pie filling and extra whipped cream
I always use Mi-Del prepared gluten free pie crusts because they have an authentic taste and texture. You can purchase these in many stores, on Amazon, and on Thrive Market (it's least expensive in-store or via Thrive Market)
Feel free to make your own graham crust if you want. Here are a few recipes I recommend:
Gluten Free Graham Cracker Crust without the Grahams from Gluten Free Palate
Traditional Gluten Free Graham Crust from What the Fork Food Blog
