No Bake Fruit Pie

I want to share a favorite recipe taught to me by my sweet grandmother, note I said taught, not given. We made this dessert together many times, making it all the more sweeter to me. I call this one Grandma's no bake fruit pie. Ingredients needed: 1 ready made graham cracker crust, or the crust can be made from crushed graham crackers mixed with melted butter and sugar, either works fine. 1 can of ready made fruit pie filling or fresh fruit when in season, or home-canned fruit if available, all choices work well. ( my favorites used for this recipe being, strawberry, cherry, and blueberry ) 1 box of Dream-Whip pie filling, 1 eight oz. package of cream cheese ( my favorite being the Philadelphia brand ) 1 tsp of vanilla Preparations go as follows: Prepare Dream-Whip as per directions on package, while mixing with electric mixer, add creme cheese and vanilla flavoring, mix on high speed till Dream-Whip, & cream cheese filling becomes thicker and fluffier. Stir into graham cracker pie crust. Chill till firm. Top with fruit pie filling of choice, chill till ready to serve and VOILAAAAAA you have a scrumptious no bake chilled fruit pie. Got to love a recipe that takes longer to type out and share than it takes to prepare. ( ha )
