Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 ounces canned cherry pie filling
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 packet unflavored gelatin
- 3 tablespoons cold water
- 3 tablespoons hot water
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press the mixture evenly into the bottoms of six individual serving glasses or ramekins to form a crust. Set aside.
In a small bowl, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over the cold water and let it bloom for 5 minutes. Once fully hydrated, stir in the hot water until the gelatin is dissolved and smooth. Let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and granulated sugar together with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
Slowly pour the cooled gelatin mixture into the cream cheese and whipped cream mixture, stirring gently to ensure even distribution.
Layer the cream mixture over the graham cracker crust in each serving glass, filling about three-quarters of the way.
Spoon the cherry pie filling evenly over each dessert, creating a vibrant top layer.
Refrigerate the desserts for at least 2 hours to allow the layers to set and flavors to meld.
Serve chilled with a sprig of mint or additional whipped cream, if desired.
