Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams cream cheese, softened
- 60 grams powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 120 ml heavy cream, chilled
- 150 grams digestive biscuits or graham crackers
- 60 grams unsalted butter, melted
- 300 grams cherry pie filling or cherry compote
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, crush the digestive biscuits or graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a ziplock bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
Add the melted butter to the crumbs and mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
Divide the mixture evenly into 6 small serving glasses or ramekins and press down firmly to form the base layer. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy using a handheld or stand mixer.
In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined, creating a light and fluffy filling.
Spoon or pipe the cream cheese filling evenly over the biscuit base in each serving glass.
Top the filling with a generous layer of cherry pie filling or cherry compote.
Refrigerate the desserts for at least 1 hour to chill and set before serving.
Serve chilled and enjoy this creamy, tangy, and fruity dessert!
