Speaking of lemons, if you are in the mood for them, then this is the perfect cream cheese pie for you. It is incredibly tangy and creamy and you will find yourself making this recipe again and again.

The pie crust is made with graham crackers or a pre-made pie crust if you’d prefer. If you choose to go for the graham cracker variation, you won’t be disappointed!

3. Fluffy Orange Cream Cheese Pie

This cream cheese pie is of the no-bake variety, so you won’t have to do any cooking at all!

Along with Sweetened Condensed Milk, and heavy cream, this recipe also calls for you to use frozen orange juice concentrate.

This is where the pie gets its delicious orange flavor, and it pairs absolutely beautifully with the cream cheese.

The pie crust is made of vanilla wafers, which really makes this cream cheese pie a little bit different and fun.

4. Gingersnap Pumpkin Cream Cheese Tart

There’s a cream cheese pie for every season, and this gingersnap pumpkin pie is definitely perfect for the fall.

If you love Pumpkin Spice Lattes or even Pumpkin Pie, this pie will emulate those flavors perfectly for you.

The spices are incredibly warm and comforting and you’ll definitely be coming back for more once you try it for the first time.

5. Apple Cream Cheese Pie

If you’re in the mood for a cream cheese pie that’s more suited for the fall months, but you don’t want something that’s all about pumpkin, then try this apple cream cheese pie instead!

There’s plenty of cinnamon in this recipe, so you can still enjoy the warm spices of the fall, but the apples make it incredibly juicy and refreshing. Paired with the cream cheese, it’s hard not to love everything about this pie.

6. Cranberry Sour Cream Pie

You either love or hate cranberries, and if you love them, you’ll definitely love this pie! This recipe uses mascarpone cheese originally, but you can swap it out for cream cheese with no issues!

The whole vibe and taste of this pie are a bit more sour than sweet, but honestly, that’s one of the main selling points of this recipe.

You’ll be pleasantly surprised by how nice the sourness is, and the tartness of the cranberries pair excellently with it.

7. Pink Lemonade Cream Cheese Pie

This pink lemonade cream cheese pie not only tastes fantastic, but it also looks fantastic too! It is vibrant in its pink color and will certainly impress any dinner guests you are serving it to.

To get the pink coloring you just need a pink lemonade drink mix concentrate powder and some red food coloring. The color of this cream cheese pie is one of the biggest selling points, but the taste just takes it to the next level!

It tastes just like pink lemonade and on top of this, there is a small hint of coconut that really complements the overall flavor. Once you try this cream cheese pie for yourself it will become a regular recipe made in your kitchen.

8. Cream Cheese Cherry Dream Pie

Cherry lovers rejoice! This is one for you!

This pie is unique because you’ll be using cherry pie filling as the pie topper rather than the main attraction.

It sounds like it shouldn’t work, but it really does. This cherry pie is completely no-bake as well, so you don’t have to turn the oven on at all.

The tartness of the cherries pairs absolutely splendidly with the cool and creamy cream cheese, so you will enjoy every single mouthful!

9. Frozen Peanut Butter And Cream Cheese Pie

You might not think that peanut butter would work with cream cheese in a pie, but once you try this one, you’ll see that it definitely does!

That’s just the beauty of peanut butter though- it tastes great and it works with practically everything.

This recipe does require you to gather together a lot of ingredients, but we promise you it’s worth it!

Some of the main ingredients in this recipe include oats, gluten, sliced almonds, dates, Greek yogurt, fresh whipping cream, peanut butter, and cream cheese.

10. Old Fashioned Cream Cheese Pie

As nice and delicious as the crazy flavored cream cheese pies are, sometimes, you’re just in the mood for a classic. This old-fashioned cream cheese pie is designed just for that.

There are no extra flavors included in this recipe, it’s just stripped to the bare bones of what makes cream cheese pie so darn good. Sometimes less is more, and that’s definitely the case here!

This recipe will fill you with a sense of comfort and you will be left feeling very satisfied once you’ve eaten it.

11. No Bake Easy Cheese Pie

On top of this, this cream cheese pie is completely no-bake, and it doesn’t take too long for it to be ready.

It’s similar in flavor to the old-fashioned cream cheese pie, but if you want to add some fruit toppings or anything else, you definitely can,

12. Chocolate Cream Cheese Pie

We couldn’t make a list of delicious cream cheese pies and not include a chocolate one! Chocolate is another ingredient that works amazingly well with cream cheese.

The richness of the chocolate is balanced out beautifully by the cream cheese.

This pie will have you make a chocolate cookie crust that is made out of Oreos, so you know it’s going to taste absolutely delicious.

You’ll also be using instant chocolate pudding that just really enhances the chocolate flavor even more.

13. Matcha No Bake Cream Cheese Pie

Just like the pink lemonade cream cheese pie, this matcha pie is absolutely vibrant in color. It’s a beautiful shade of green that will really pop and will be enjoyed by everyone who tries it.

You don’t even need to use any extra dyes to get the color because the matcha will do all the legwork. The cream cheese is combined with gelatin powder which will help the overall pie set properly.

The crust is made out of chocolate cookie crumbs that really bring out the richness in this pie (to learn how to make a chocolate pie crust, follow our handy guide here). If you love the flavor of matcha, then you won’t find any other cream cheese pie that will top this one!

14. Cream Cheese And Banana Pudding Pie

This cream cheese pie perfectly combines the flavors of vanilla and banana to create an absolutely delicious recipe. The vanilla actually comes from vanilla pudding and it works fantastically well.

The crust is actually made out of Nilla Wafers, which are old-fashioned wafer cookies of the vanilla variety. They are quite similar to shortbread, so if you’re a fan of shortbread, you will absolutely love them!

15. Vegan Oreo Cream Cheese Pie

Lots of people think that if you’re vegan, that means you cant enjoy cream cheese anymore, but this recipe is proof that you can!

This particular recipe calls for you to use Tofutti cream cheese, but you can swap it out for whatever alternative you want.
