Ingredients
- 1 Pillsbury Pizza Crust or your own homemade pizza crust or other brand of refrigerated pizza crust
- 1 package cream cheese 8oz/250g package, softened
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 large egg
- ⅓ cup sugar + 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 can cherry pie filling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a pizza pan and spread out dough to fit. Sprinkle 1 tbsp sugar evenly over dough. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, add cream cheese, vanilla, lemon juice, egg and ⅓ cup sugar. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth.
- Pour cream cheese mixture evenly over pizza dough leaving a gap around the edge. Bake for 25 minutes or until cream cheese is set and crust is lightly browned.
- Remove from oven and let cool 30 minutes. Then top with cherry pie filling leaving a gap around the edge. Refrigerate uneaten portions.
Notes
- Allow the cheesecake layer to cool before adding the cherry topping so it doesn’t melt into the filling.
- A pizza cutter makes slicing and serving much easier.
- Any flavor of pie filling can be substituted for the cherries.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Best served chilled or at room temperature.
