Lemon Pudding Cheesecake Pie

Sometimes the oldies are the goodies. This vintage Jello pudding recipe is one of them.  

8 oz cream cheese, at room temperature
2 cups milk
1 - 4 serving package lemon instant pudding

1 - 8" pie crust

Prepare the pie crust.  If using pastry, bake and cool. 
You can also use a graham crust which is probably the favourite crust for cheesecakes.

I used this Saltine Cracker Pie Crust

With the whisk attachment blend the cream cheese with 1/2 cup of milk, then add the remaining milk and the instant pudding mix.

Once well blended pour into the pie shell and chill a few hours.

Garnish with whipped cream and coloured sugar. (Just add a drop or 2 of food colouring to 1-2 tbsps of granulated sugar)
