I have a new favorite dessert! Cherry Berry Dessert. The base is a cream puff crust, then comes a creamy, pillowy filling and it's topped off with a yummy fruit topping. It's indescribably delicious! I could not get enough of it.

This treat is decadent and delicious!

I originally found this recipe over at Can't Stay Out of the Kitchen. She used a meringue crust. I wasn't sure if I would like a meringue crust. Sure, I like lemon meringue pie, but sometimes I scrape off the meringue and just eat the lemon part. Plus it seemed like a lot of work.

So I decided to use a cream puff base like I did with my Eclair Pie. The result was amazing! It gave it the perfect amount of bite to contrast with the creamy filling.

If you love strawberries, you gotta try some of these frozen strawberry recipes.

8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 c. sugar

This would also make an amazing trifle using angel food cake.
