Ingredients
7 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 9 whole crackers)
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 container cool whip, 8 ounces
1 can cherry pie filling, 21 ounces
Instructions
Make the Crust: In a bowl, combine the melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, and granulated sugar. Mix well until crumbly. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13 inch dish to form the crust.
Prepare the Filling: In a separate bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the cool whip until just combined.
Assemble the Dessert: Spread the cream cheese filling over the graham cracker crust evenly.
Top with Cherry Filling: Pour the cherry pie filling over the cream cheese layer, spreading it out evenly.
Chill: Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 240 minutes, or until set.
Notes
Best served chilled. Can garnish with a dollop of cool whip or additional cherries. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
