Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 540 grams canned cherry pie filling
- 200 grams graham cracker crumbs
- 100 grams unsalted butter
- 60 grams powdered sugar
- 225 grams cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 240 grams whipped topping
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and powdered sugar.
Melt the butter in the microwave or on the stovetop, then pour it over the graham cracker crumb mixture. Stir until the mixture is evenly coated and resembles wet sand.
Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x9-inch baking dish to form an even crust. Set aside.
In a separate mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with a hand mixer until smooth and fluffy.
Add the vanilla extract and continue beating until well combined.
Gently fold in the whipped topping, mixing just until incorporated. Be careful not to overmix to preserve the light texture.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the graham cracker crust.
Top the cream cheese layer with the canned cherry pie filling, spreading evenly across the surface.
Refrigerate the dessert for at least 2 hours to chill and set.
Slice into squares and serve cold. Enjoy your easy cherry dessert!
