Angel Pie Recipe

Updated: Jul 7

This is a mother recipe instead of a grandmother recipe.


My mom sent this to me when I was in college (see the photo, an e-mail exchange in my senior year of college). I believe the original was a magazine cut-out.

Email with a recipe for Angel Pie. Includes ingredients like cream cheese, powdered sugar, and instructions. Sent on 22 Apr 2009.

We've been loving this pie ever since!


Like most recipes we enjoy, it's easy.


It's delicious. The almond extract is so delicious and doesn't taste at all like eating raw almonds.


This time, I made a homemade graham cracker crust 8 oz cream cheese, room temperature for at least 1 hour (I usually let it sit longer to make for easier mixing)


Baking ingredients on a counter: graham cracker crust in a pan, heavy cream carton, sugar bag, cream cheese, vanilla extract bottles. Warm lighting.
