When I was a child, my mother used to make Chiffon Pie, and it was my favorite dessert. I helped her make it, and remember “borrowing” her recipe when I was first married, but now I can’t find it! I have searched online, but nothing seems to match what I remember. From what I remember – she used: Cream Cheese, Sugar, Jello (pick whatever flavor you want) and it was placed in a graham cracker crust. You make the jello as directed and let it set up in the refrigerator – you want it almost completely set. Then she would mix the cream cheese and sugar until it was creamy, and then you add the jello – and mix it until it is set.
The part I can’t remember are the quantities and whether it called for other ingredients like sweetened condensed milk. Mom passed away in October, and I really want to share my memories as well as her recipes with my children.

If it was made with Jello you might find it on the Jello website. Sounds delicious!
