Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 21 ounces cherry pie filling
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until evenly combined.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese and continue mixing until well incorporated and smooth.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until no streaks remain.
Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4-6 hours or overnight to allow it to firm up.
Once set, spread the cherry pie filling over the top of the cheesecake just before serving.
Slice and serve chilled. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
