How To Make A Fresh Fruit Cream Cheese Pie For Family Desserts

I love eating fresh fruit and I love it even more when I can use fresh fruit to make a delicious dessert. A few years ago my aunt gave me her recipe for this fresh fruit cream cheese pie which is really easy to make. You can use whatever fresh fruit you have on hand or whatever is in-season where you live. If you prefer graham cracker crusts over baked pastry crusts...you can certainly substitute your crust to what your family prefers.

I like to make it 3 different ways:

1. Bananas, Blueberries, Strawberries
2. Blueberries, Raspberries and Strawberries (Triple Berry Version)
3. Pineapples, Blueberries, Kiwi and Bananas (Tropical Version)

Tips: If you are worried about any of your fruits turning brown, you can slice them and dip them in fresh lemon juice. Once I have my pie in the refrigerator to set up is when I wash, pat dry and then slice my fresh fruits so that they will be ready to go once the pie has set. The pie can be made a day ahead of time and refrigerated until ready to use.

Aunt J's Fresh Fruit Cream Cheese Pie Recipe
