One our favorite desserts. In the summer, I use fresh strawberries, peaches, and bluberries for the topping. This is heavenly, divine, scrumptious, smooth, creamy, cloud-like, etc. etc. etc. :)
Ingredients
- 2 sticks unsalted pure butter, softened shopping list
- 2 cups all-purpose flour shopping list
- 1 cup chopped, pecans (medium chop, I like to chop them) shopping list
- 1 8-ounce package cream cheese shopping list
- 1 pound box powdered sugar shopping list
- 8 ounces whipping cream, whipped ( okay, could use Cool Whip) shopping list
- 1 or 2 cans cherry pie filling OR make your own from canned cherries OR shopping list
- Use fresh strawberries when available* (see note in directions) shopping list
- NOTE: May add almond flavoring to the cream cheese, powdered sugar when beating, OR to the fruit shopping list
How to make it
- In a medium bowl, mix the butter and flour as in pastry
- Add chopped pecans to this mixture
- Press the above in a 9 X 13" dish or pan
- Bake at 350 degrees for about 20-30 minutes until lightly browned
- Let cool
- In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, mix cream cheese and powdered sugar, slowly
- Fold in whipped cream or (okay, Cool Whip)
- Spread on top of cooled crust
- At this time you may spread the cherry pie filling over all OR
- you may refrigerate and *spread when ready to serve*
- *NOTE: When I use *fresh* strawberries, peaches, blueberries, etc.
- I cut the dessert into squares and drizzle the sweetened fruit over the square. For a "strawberry, peach melba", I drizzle the square with sweetened strawberries, then drizzle peaches over the strawberries! Now this is good, good!
- ENJOY
