Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 21 ounces cherry pie filling
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar. Stir in melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the crust mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of a 9x9-inch pan. Place the pan in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together using a hand or stand mixer until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream with the vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated and smooth.
Spread half of the cream mixture evenly over the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Add an even layer of the cherry pie filling over the cream layer.
Top the cherry filling with the remaining cream mixture, spreading it evenly to cover the filling completely.
Optionally, garnish the top layer with additional graham cracker crumbs or a few spoonfuls of cherry filling for a decorative touch.
Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the dessert to set and flavors to meld.
Cut into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy your Cherry Cha Cha!
