Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for crust)
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 0.75 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream, cold
- 1 can (21 ounces) Cherry pie filling
- 0.5 cup Fresh cherries (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust. Use the back of a spoon or the bottom of a glass to compact it tightly. Chill the crust in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes while preparing the filling.
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture, beating until fully incorporated.
In a separate chilled bowl, whip the cold heavy whipping cream with a hand mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture with a spatula, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream. Mix until fully combined and smooth.
Spread the cream filling evenly over the prepared graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Spoon the cherry pie filling over the cream layer, spreading it evenly.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until set. Overnight chilling is recommended for the best texture.
If desired, garnish the pie with fresh cherries before serving. Slice and enjoy your Cherry Breeze Pie!
