    As the saying goes, "life is short, eat dessert first." And with this simple recipe you can have your pie and eat it too.

    cherry cream pie with pecan crust on a plate

    This decadent Cherry Cream Pie is three layers of awesomeness: a buttery pecan crust, creamy cheesecake like layer topped with sweet cherries. The best part, besides the taste of course, is it is so easy to make.

    This would be a fun dessert to serve for National Cherry Pie Day (February 20th), Pi(e) Day (March 14th) or National Cherry Day (July 16th).

    Cherry Pie Bars

    This recipe came courtesy of my cousin Paige. She doubles the recipe and makes it as Cherry Pie Bars, which are perfect to bring to a pot luck, barbecue, pool party or other large gathering.

    However, I have a family of three and do not need a large pan of goodies calling to me from the kitchen. So, I slashed her recipe in half and made it in a pie pan.

    You could also opt for an 8" square pan.

    Variations to Creamy Cherry Pie

    For the crust you can change up the nuts and use almonds or walnuts. Use gluten free flour for a gluten free variation.

    Instead of cherry you can top it with your favorite flavor of pie filling. Or make stripes of cherry and blueberry filling for a fun red, white and blue dessert for Memorial Day or Independence Day.

        I still prefer a pie that I don't have to fuss with a pastry crust (though I know have a good recipe for that).
