YWPWT: “Shirley Temple’s Gotta Eat, Too” Cherry Cheesecake Pie
This month’s You Want Pies With That? Challenge is “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous” Pie! The description:
“You get to go all out in the kitchen this month, making a special pie based on someone famous. Or you can pretend you’re making it for them (it’s always nice to have a pie idea at the ready, just in case Brad Pitt decides to drop by, you know.) Your famous person can be a celebrity, movie star, rock star or group, sports star, or even historical figure. Basically, anyone who’s had more than just 15 minutes of fame.”
My pie is called “Shirley Temple’s Gotta Eat, Too” Cherry Cheesecake Pie. I was trying to recreate the classic Shirley Temple drink as a pie. It’s a mouthful.. but a tasty mouthful! The components:
- Dorie Greenspan’s all-purpose crust (all butter, no shortening)
- Cherry Cheesecake filling with whole Maraschino Cherries
- Whipped Cream topping

Your pie sounds wonderful. I loved shirley temples as a kid. Although, my 23 year old sister has introduced me to “slutty temples” which are shriley temple’s mixed with vodka. They are a little too sweet for me. I’ll stick with wine, but I’ll have some of your pie.
I’m thinking I should have made this pie instead of mine just to be able to eat it. I think I may just have to try this sometime soon!
WOW! How very creative! Beautiful and very mouthwatering idea!
Next, you think you can come up with something like… hummmm… say: Vibi’s gotta devoure!??? LOL
What creative pie! And as cute as Shirley temple too!
I love it!! I LOVED Shirley Temple as a kid and this is definitely the PERFECT pie for her! Great photo.
Having a Shirley Temple as a child really made me feel special. It was sweet and colorful, just like your pie.
Turning the namesake drink into a pie is the perfect homage, and I love the whole cherries, they’re beautiful. Libby
yum yum yum…that looks fabulous!!
Wow, lovely pie photo. The red and white are so eye-catching. I could eat way too much of that.
You are one creative gal! I love all the interesting combinations you come up with- like your cupcakes and now this beautiful cake. This cake could be a winner on looks alone. I’ll have to try it!
Ooh, I love it! It’s so pink and cute, just like Shirley. nice work!
the photo is great and the cheesecake mustbe delicious 🙂
Damn good name.
I never used to love cherries in my desserts in the past, but I think they’d be great in a cheesecake!
Hi
Are you going to share the recipe for the ◾Cherry Cheesecake filling with whole Maraschino Cherries? It looks so good. The only recipes I can find for a cherry cheesecake filling have cherry pie filling dumped on top.
I wish you would share the recipe.
