Prepare the Base
Begin by spreading half of the cherry pie filling evenly on the bottom of the graham cracker pie crust. This layer serves as a delicious foundation for the creamy filling that will follow. -
Make the Creamy Filling
In a large mixing bowl, use a wire whisk to beat the cream cheese until it becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps. Gradually add in the milk, beating continuously until the mixture is well blended and smooth. -
Add the Pudding Mix
Once the milk is fully incorporated, sprinkle in the instant lemon pudding mix. Continue to beat the mixture until it is completely smooth, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully. -
Incorporate Whipped Topping
Gently fold in half of the tub of whipped topping into the cream cheese and pudding mixture. This step adds a light, airy texture that is crucial for the fluffiness of the pie. -
Layer the Filling
Carefully spread the creamy filling over the layer of cherry pie filling in the crust, smoothing it out to create an even surface. -
Top with Whipped Topping
Using the remaining whipped topping, spread it over the pudding layer to create a light and fluffy top that will complement the tartness of the pie filling. -
Finish with Cherry Filling
Finally, spoon the remaining cherry pie filling over the whipped topping layer, allowing it to cascade beautifully for a vibrant finish. -
Chill and Serve
Refrigerate the pie for at least three hours, or until it is fully set. This chilling time is essential for the flavors to develop and the texture to firm up. When ready to serve, slice into generous portions and enjoy the refreshing and fluffy goodness of your homemade Fluffy Lemon Fruit Pie!
