Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 can 21 oz cherry pie filling

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer
  • Spatula
  • 9-inch pie dish
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs and ½ cup melted unsalted butter until well mixed.
  2. Press the graham cracker mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust.
  3. In another bowl, beat 1 cup powdered sugar, 8 oz softened cream cheese, and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  4. In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form, about 3 to 4 minutes on medium speed.
  5. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to maintain volume and create a light filling.
  6. Spoon the combined filling over the prepared crust in the pie dish, spreading it into an even layer.
  7. Cover the pie dish and refrigerate for at least 3 hours to allow the filling to set properly.
  8. Before serving, spread 1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling evenly over the chilled cream layer.

Notes

Let the dessert chill overnight for best flavor and texture.
