This was beautiful and so easy to make. I made this while on vacation, so I changed a couple of things. Not being sure what kind of 'equipment' I would have at my disposal, I decided on a graham cracker crust to hold the goodness, and to be honest, I was afraid that the cream cheese mixture and the pie filling would overflow the crust, so I topped with cherries, as it was served. I also learned something; it is hard to incorporate cream cheese and s.c. milk, without a mixer, but I did my best to 'whip' them into shape! It was wonderful and I thank you for sharing, Nancy's Pantry.
