Cherries on a Cloud

Where did this cold come from? I swear yesterday I was fine, and today I feel like I've been run over by a truck. So, you'll have to bear with me. Today I will post the picture of the white bean crostini since I did make that last night. However, my husband worked late so I saved the asparagus pasta and dessert for tonight so I will take pictures then.

So as not to completely disappoint, I thought I'd post this dessert recipe. When I was in elementary school, I was asked to submit a recipe to add to a school cookbook. This is the one that I told my Mom that I wanted to submit. It's so easy and yummy.. which reminds me that I bet my son would love it.


Cherries on a Cloud

1 package cream cheese, softened
2 tsp vanilla
1 can cherry pie filling
1/3 c sugar
1/2 pint sour cream
8 oz whipped topping (i.e. cool whip), thawed

Beat cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar. Blend in sour cream and vanilla. Gently fold in whipped topping.

Spoon into a 2 qt bowl or individual dishes. Chill for 4 hours. Spoon on cherry pie just before serving.
