Easy Cheesy Pie

Easy Cheesy Pie

1 Easiest Pie Crust
1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, room temperature
1/3 cup sugar
1 (8 oz) tub whipped topping*
1 (6 oz) container strawberry yogurt*

Mix cream cheese and sugar with electric mixer until well blended. Gently stir in whipped topping and yogurt. Pour into pie crust. Cover and chill until firm, about 1 hour.

*I used the strawberry flavored Coolwhip for this picture. While it tastes good, I might prefer the taste of regular Coolwhip. If you go with regular Coolwhip, can also use any yogurt flavor you so desire.

Easiest Pie Crust

1 box Pamela's Pecan shortbread cookies

In blender, crush all 9 cookies. If you get chunks, use your fingers to break up. Pat into pie plate using a spoon or fingers. Bake for 10 minutes at 350. Fill and use instead of a graham cracker crust.

I buy these at my local grocer, Fry's for those wondering. I used to add 4 Tbsp melted margerine but found it unnecessary, as the cookies stick together pretty well. If you want a firmer crust, add 1 Tablespoon of melted butter at a time until you get the consistency you like. Pamela's gingersnaps and chocolate cookies also make good crusts. Pamela makes some very good products, including brownie mix and pancake mix, that we will be discussing later.
