1. Cream together the cheese and sour cream.

2. Fold in sugar gradually.

3. Add vanilla and mix well.

4. Fold in whipped cream.

5. Pour into pie shell and chill for at least 3 hours.

6. Pour excess syrup from the can of cherry pie filling. Leave some, but
you certainly don't need all of it. The sauce should cover the cream cheese
mix, but the cherries shouldn't be drowning in it.

7. Pour pie filling on top. Serve cold.

Author's Notes:

My wife makes this for me periodically, and it is always delicious. No
baking is required, and it is very easy to make.

If you don't have the time to sit around for 3 hours waiting for the pie to
chill, make the cream cheese filling the night before and let the pie chill
overnight. We prefer to use nondairy whipped cream substitute. We usually
use the same brand name ingredients for best results: Philadelphia cream
cheese, Breakstone's sour cream, Coolwhip, and Comstock cherry pie
filling.
