Description

A creamy, no-bake dessert with a crunchy graham cracker crust, sweetened cream cheese filling, and topped with a luscious cherry pie filling. Perfect for any occasion, this delightful treat is easy to make and loved by all!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup butter, melted
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling

Instructions

  • Prepare the crust: In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until combined. Press mixture into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Refrigerate while you prepare the filling.
  • Make the filling: In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth.
  • Assemble the dessert: Spread the cream cheese mixture over the graham cracker crust.
  • Top with cherry filling: Spoon the cherry pie filling over the top of the dessert.
  • Chill: Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. For best results, chill overnight.

Notes

  • You can substitute the cherry pie filling with any fruit topping you prefer, like strawberry, blueberry, or raspberry.
  • For an extra layer of flavor, sprinkle chopped nuts (like pecans or walnuts) over the topping before serving.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened for smooth blending.
