Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Premade pie crust (or homemade pie crust)
- 8 oz Cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup Jelly (any flavor of your choice)
- 1 tsp Unflavored gelatin powder
- 2 tbsp Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
If using a premade pie crust, place it in a pie dish. If making homemade crust, prepare it in advance and press it into a 9-inch pie dish.
Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork to prevent bubbling, then bake the crust for 8–10 minutes or until golden brown. Let it cool completely.
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined and smooth.
Spread the cream cheese filling evenly into the cooled pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
In a small saucepan, combine the jelly, unflavored gelatin, and water over low heat. Stir continuously until the gelatin is fully dissolved and the jelly is smooth (about 2–3 minutes).
Remove the jelly mixture from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes, but not long enough to set.
Gently pour the jelly mixture over the cream cheese layer, tilting the pie dish slightly to spread the jelly evenly across the top.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or until fully set.
Once set, slice the Jelly Pie and serve chilled. Enjoy!
