Ingrédients

2 cups graham cracker crumbs

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/4 cup granulated sugar

16 oz cream cheese, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

8 oz whipped topping (like Cool Whip)

21 oz cherry pie filling

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Crust
In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until well combined.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish to form an even layer.
Chill the crust in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to set.
Step 2: Make the Creamy Layer
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the cream cheese until it’s completely smooth and creamy.
Next, add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the smooth cream cheese, and continue mixing until everything is fully combined and the mixture is creamy and lump-free.
Gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is creamy and fluffy.
Spread the creamy layer evenly over the chilled crust.
Step 3: Add the Cherry Topping
Spoon the cherry pie filling over the creamy layer, spreading it out evenly.
For a decorative touch, create swirls or patterns with the cherries.
Step 4: Chill and Serve
Refrigerate the dessert for at least 2 hours (or overnight) to allow it to set.
Slice into squares, garnish with fresh cherries or whipped cream, and serve!
