Print Recipe

A quick and easy dessert that combines a delicious graham cracker crust with cream cheese and cherry pie filling.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups crushed graham crackers
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups whipped topping
  • 1 can cherry pie filling
  • Additional whipped cream for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Graham Cracker Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers with melted butter. Mix until everything is well coated.
  2. Press the Crust Into a Pan: Use a measuring cup or your hands to press the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of the dish.
  3. Mix the Cream Cheese Layer: In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
  4. Fold in the Whipped Topping: Fold in your whipped topping gently until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
  5. Spread the Cream Cheese Mixture: Take your crust out of the fridge and spread the cream cheese mixture over it evenly.
  6. Top with Cherry Filling: Spoon the canned cherry pie filling over the cream cheese layer.
  7. Chill to Combine: Let the dessert chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

For a lighter version, substitute half the butter with applesauce and use whipped ricotta instead of cream cheese. Can be made a day in advance.
