Penny Pie

Be a Penny ❤️❤️❤️ So what’s in the name? This luscious no bake cheesecake is simple to put together and a crowd pleaser. Do you have memories of your favourite desserts from family gatherings? Well this was mine!! My Aunt Penny used to make a no-bake whipped cheesecake every Christmas or gathering and I would rush through my dinner to get to this dessert. It was heavenly! The problem was this dessert was only seen at the holidays. I needed it more, so……. I decided to re-make this dessert for my own family and I call it ‘Penny Pie’. Well I correct myself, WE call it Penny Pie. 😋. Make this pie and be a Penny ❤️
