Creamy Cherry Vanilla Pie
Why I Love This Recipe
I came up with this recipe for my kids. My daughter is in college now and finally showing some interest in cooking. I make a harder version of this pie, but my daughter, not quite having the skill for that recipe, wanted something easier, but similar. I experimented with this recipe on my son. Now it is his favorite. He likes it better than the original version. You can also use the fat free and sugar free versions of these ingredients.
