See how easy that is! Here’s a video you can follow along with while making it.

I loved the lemony cheesecake filling with the cherry pie filling. It was a great flavor combination. Of course, you can use blueberry pie filling or strawberry instead. Whatever your taste buds love! You can also make your own lady fingers if you are so inclined. I have a great Ladyfingers Recipe you can try out.  They aren’t that difficult to make, but it does add some time to your preparations.

If you are ready to celebrate, this is a big 9-inch Charlotte and it will serve a crowd! It’s the perfect dessert to take to your book club or church group. The kids and adults will gobble it up in no time.

I made it to celebrate my Mom’s birthday. Every January 13th, my mom turns 39 again. I think she’s turned 39 for the past 3o-something years 🙂 She’s off celebrating with her girlfriends in beautiful Kailua-Kona, Hawaii. My mom doesn’t bake and she hates to cook, but I think that even she can manage this easy dessert. Happy Birthday, Mama! We hope you had a wonderful day!
