Cherry-Cream Crown Cake (Mrs Bear's Recipe)

Cherry-Cream Crown Cake (Mrs Bear's Recipe)​

I got another one of Mrs Bear's old Recipes here.
It's not my favorite, but it's in the top 2, right up there with "Shoo Fly Cake".
So I'll do my best in translating her recipe card to my Step by Step, with Pics.


Ingredients:
2 packages of Ladyfingers
1- 8 ounce package of softened Cream Cheese
1/2 cup of Sugar
1 pint of Heavy Cream
1 tsp of Vanilla
1- 21 ounce can of Cherry Pie Filling


Directions:
Line the sides of a 9” Spring-form pan tightly with about half of the Ladyfingers, with the rounded sides against the pan.

Beat Cheese with Sugar until creamy; Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, whip the cream & the Vanilla until stiff.
Gently, but thoroughly fold in cheese mixture until well blended.

Spread a layer of the Mix in the pan, Top with half the remaining lady fingers, laying flat.
Repeat; Spread with the second layer of cheese mixture. Top with the rest of the lady fingers, laying flat.
Then the last "third" of the Cheese Mixture on top.
Cover & chill overnight—24 hours is even better.

Carefully spoon Cherry Pie Filling over cheese mixture layer.
Chill several hours before serving. Remove sides off Pan, and place on a serving plate.

Enjoy!!!

Now that looks real yummy, John. I'm thinking that slicing it to serve must be a bit of an ordeal--otherwise, it would look like you just used a serving spoon. LOL.
I think I'll be finding out soon.

Now that's a pie I could sink my teeth into. I love cherry pie in all forms, shapes, and fashions. Has mama bear ever substituted the cheese mixture for more cherry filling in the middle layer?

Point for sure

Gotta say.. when first reading and you said Ladyfingers.. I envisioned Butterfinger (candy bars) for some reason... So I had candy bars on the brain and was thinking.. How DaHell is he gonna slice this... Then the pictures came along and seen the Ladyfingers... LOL...

Thank You Inda!!!
I'm sure it would even be better with Strawberries. If we could get Strawberries like you guys can get down there, I'm sure ours would change to Strawberries.
