Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 21 oz canned cherry pie filling
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
- 6 pieces fresh cherries for garnish (optional)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix well until the texture resembles wet sand.
Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to form a crust. Refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to set.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Continue beating until well incorporated.
In another bowl, whisk the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and fluffy.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled graham cracker crust using a spatula.
Carefully spoon the cherry pie filling over the cream cheese layer, spreading it out gently to avoid mixing the layers.
Optional: Sprinkle the chopped walnuts or pecans evenly over the cherry layer for added crunch.
Cover the dessert with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until fully set (overnight is ideal).
Before serving, garnish with fresh cherries if desired. Slice into squares and enjoy!
