Now this is a wonderful recipe! Very creamy and sooooo goooood! I have made cheese cakes similar to this but not quite the way your recipe is and I like this one the best out of all of them. I am smoking a turkey on our smoker and making a potato salad and just thought that I would try this recipe since it was fast and easy and I was craving a good cheese cake/pie and I am so happy that I did. Thank you so much for posting this. I will make it again and again and again! -
I’ve made this recipe for years. When blackberries are in, I mix about half a cup of sugar and a tablespoon of cornstarch, add to a pint of blackberries and cook until thick. Cool and put on the top of the cream cheese filling. We also like a regular pie crust better when using blackberries.

I have loved this pie for over 25 years ever since Keebler put this recipe out so not sure why someone name Wendy is taking credit. It's a quick, easy and delicious cheesecake pie, nice and creamy!

This is a classic. You really can't get any better for the amount of effort it takes. -
I have have this for years, as did my mom. Always good! Homemade blueberry sauce is very good on top. If you're expecting this to set up like cheesecake, it doesn't. Not supposed to. Very easy classic!

Eagle change their cream cheese and took something out. You want your pie to be like they use to be, use (2) two cream cheese. You can thank me later.

Hello!
I am a thirty-nine year old mom with two children.
I am originally from Xenia, Ohio where I have lived longer than anywhere, but have lived in many different places. Ohio is one of my favorite states...I love the different seasons here!
I love to remodel and decorate homes, when I have the time, and of course, I'm very passionate about cooking!!
There is a long line of great cooks in my family and I am trying to put together a cookbook for them, from recipes they've shared with me. I have no favorite cookbook...I love picking up new (even better...very old) ones from yard sales, Ebay, Amazon, or wherever I find a good book with a good deal!
Love the Food Network and my favs to watch, when I have the time, are Giada De Lorentis & Tyler Florence.
