If you "like" Paula Deen on Facebook, then you will get alerts about a website www.womenofphiladelphia.com. For the last four years, they have had a contest. You get to enter an original recipe using at least 3 ounces of Philadelphia Cream Cheese. This contest inspired me to create a recipe. When I was growing up, my Aunt Ann make this wonderful jello and cream cheese dessert. This is my spin on her wonderful treat. I used cherries because I am trying to use more fruits and vegetables that are in season.
1 package black cherry jello
1 cup hot water
l cup cold water
18 fresh cherries
8 oz. cream cheese
1 tablespoon sour cream
1 tablespoon sugar
Add 1 cup boiling water to jello powder. Stir for 2 minutes. Add 1 cup cold water and stir. Pit and halve 12 cherries and add to jello. Refrigerate for 4 hours. When jello is firm, mix the cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, and the remaining 6 cherries (pitted and diced). Spread mixture carefully on top of jello. Serves about 4-6.
