Nancy’s Cheese Pie

Make or buy a deep dish graham cracker crust.

For pie filling, in a large mixing bowl beat the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla (or almond extract), and lemon peel, if desired, with an electric mixer until combined. Add egg and mix well.

In a small bowl, beat very cold whipping cream until it holds a soft peak. Soft peak should fold over when the beaters are lifted.

Fold everything together gently until blended. Pour into the graham cracker crust.

Bake for 35-40 minutes until light golden brown. Cool cheese pie and chill until set.

Now you can mix topping ingredients together in a small bowl. Spread Topping onto Cheese Pie. Cover and chill at least 4 hours before serving.
