Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 18 sheets graham crackers
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 0.25 cups powdered sugar
- 21 ounces sweetened cherry pie filling
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture and mix to combine.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar together using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula until fully combined and fluffy.
In a 9x13-inch baking dish, arrange a single layer of graham crackers to cover the bottom of the dish.
Spread one-third of the cream mixture evenly over the graham cracker layer.
Repeat the process, adding two more layers of graham crackers and cream mixture, ending with the cream mixture on top.
Carefully spread the cherry pie filling evenly over the top layer of cream mixture, ensuring full coverage.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the graham crackers to soften.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
