I am totally loving this new line of vintage-inspired aprons. Just looking at them makes me want to cook something! But since it’s summertime and super hot around here, I thought I’d share my favorite no-bake pie recipe. As the name suggests it has a deliciously fluffy texture and it is (of course) easy as pie.
Cloud-9 Pie
For the Crust:
1 package graham crackers
1/4 cup margarine
1/2 cup sugar
Crush up the graham crackers in a food processor then add the other ingredients. Mix well and press into pie pan. Bake at 375 degrees for 7 minutes. Or take the easy way out (I usually do!) and buy pre-made graham cracker crust.
For the Filling:
1/2 pint whipping cream
8oz package cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup sugar
1 cup sour cream
1-1/2 teaspoons natural vanilla
Whip the cream until it starts to form soft peaks (if you have one, a stand mixer works best). Add the remaining ingredients while continuing to mix . Mix well then fill into pie crust. Generally there is enough filling to make two flat-top pies or one fuller pie.
Refrigerate for a couple hours until set. Serve with blueberry, cherry or raspberry topping. Even a drizzle of chocolate syrup or just eat it with nothing else at all. Whichever way, this light, fluffy and heavenly pie will be gone in minutes. Enjoy!
