CHERRY-CHEESE STRUDEL PIE
This strudel-inspired confection is a total crowd pleaser. A custardy mix of cream cheese, ricotta, and egg-marbled with a swirl of tart cherry sauce-bakes up into a delicious filling. The bottom crust is made with store-bought puff pastry. It stays light and airy thanks to blind-baking, while scoring it gives the edges a rustic braided look.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Unfold puff pastry onto a flour-dusted, parchment-lined baking sheet. (If necessary, roll out slightly to form a rectangle that is approximately 15 1/2-by-10 1/2-inches.)
- Cut out a 15-by-10-inch oval in dough. Fold oval in half crosswise from short ends, like a book; turn so folded side is facing you and dough resembles an arch. Working from folded side, and starting 1 inch in from either edge, cut along curve, leaving a 3/4 inch space of dough uncut at top of arch.
- Unfold, then cross outer border sections over each other, lining up edges as best as possible, to create a pastry shell with a 1-inch border and twists at top and bottom. Dock center with a fork. Trace a scored line just inside border, into but not all the way through dough. (This will allow the sides to rise up straight.) Freeze 15 minutes. If desired, score border with a knife in a decorative pattern.
- Brush crust with some of the beaten egg (reserving rest for filling); sprinkle with sugar. Bake, rotating sheet halfway through, until puffed, about 20 minutes. Carefully pierce center with knife tip to release steam. Continue baking until golden brown, about 10 minutes more.
- Reduce oven temperature to 375°F; bake until crust is fully cooked in center (if top is browning too quickly, tent with foil), about 5 minutes more. Let cool 15 minutes. Carefully (it will still be hot) press center in with a metal spatula to make a well.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine frozen cherries with 1/4 cup sugar, 2 teaspoons flour, and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently, then cook until juices have thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes. In a food processor, pulse cream cheese and ricotta with remaining 1/4 cup sugar and 2 tablespoons flour, and orange zest, until smooth. Add reserved egg and pulse to combine.
- Spread cream cheese mixture into well in crust. Top with cherry mixture, swirling juices in with a toothpick to create marbling. Bake until filling is set in center and puffed slightly around edges, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer sheet to a wire rack; let cool 10 minutes.
- Using parchment, slide pie off sheet onto rack; let cool completely, about 1 hour. Serve immediately at room temperature, or refrigerate, covered with plastic wrap, up to 2 days.

Tips:
- Use fresh cherries: Fresh cherries provide the best flavor and texture for this pie. If using frozen cherries, thaw them completely before using and drain off any excess liquid.
- Pit the cherries: A cherry pitter is the easiest way to pit cherries. If you don't have a cherry pitter, you can also use a paring knife to carefully remove the pits.
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened: Softened cream cheese will mix more easily with the other ingredients. To soften cream cheese quickly, microwave it on low power for a few seconds at a time, stirring in between, until it is softened.
- Don't overmix the filling: Overmixing the filling will make it tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set: The pie is done baking when the crust is golden brown and the filling is no longer jiggly.
Conclusion:
Cherry cheese pie is a delicious and classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and tart cherry filling and creamy cheese filling, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. Follow these tips to make the best cherry cheese pie possible.
