5 Ingredient No cook cheese pie - Cooking With Angie

I don`t recall the year but I know who was the first that I made this no cook cheese pie for the very first time, that would be my father who had diabetes. Its low on the sugar side so its perfect for that diabetic with a sweet tooth, well and for anyone else for that matter.

With just 5 ingredients and no cooking whatsoever this is also perfect for the children to make with or without supervision.

You Will Need : 

1 block of cream cheese

1/2 cup sweetener

1 tablespoon of vanilla flavor

1 tub of cool whip

Graham crackers 

Lay the cream cheese out on the counter to get soft, about 2 hours.

In a bowl put the block of cream cheese and whip it with a spoon till smooth.

Add vanilla and sweetener, mix well.

Add half of the cool whip and mix till blended, add the rest and hand beat till creamy.

In a pie plate or any serving dish, lay graham crackers on the bottom.

Top with the cream cheese mixture and add a few crackers for decoration.

Your are done!

If you are not fond of Vanilla replace it with lemon extract or orange extract. Add a little lemon or orange zest on tip.

Nut lover? add a handful of toasted pecan over the top.

Coconut lover? Toast a nice handful and add it to the cream cheese mixture, top with cherries.

Key lime! Use a couple spoonfuls of lime juice instead of extract, zest the top with lime.

Not worried about sugar?

How about pineapple? Drain a small can of pineapple tidbits, in a skillet add a couple spoons of brown sugar and cook till thick, drizzle over the top of the cheese pie, leaving chunks of pineapple. 

The topping are endless, just use your imagination and make this no cook cheese pie the way you want to eat it, plain or decked out!
