Several months ago, my cousin lent me a stack of old recipes that had belonged to her mother. In that pile was a brochure from the Philadelphia Cream Cheese company. It looks like it's from the late fifties or early sixties and contains 44 recipes that use cream cheese (preferably Philadelphia Brand). The one pictured above isn't particularly seasonable, but for some reason sort of appealed to me. I guess because it's the time of year to start thinking about holiday pies.

I love the old recipe cards you've been posting. I remember recipes just like this one from my childhood in the 1950's. What's particularly interesting is that a modern recipe would substitute red Jell-O for the thickened strawberry mixture. I think this recipe would be better. However, I would probably add a bit of sugar to the cream cheese to make it more like a cheesecake layer.
