Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 sheets Graham crackers
- 8 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 16 oz Whipped topping (such as Cool Whip), thawed
- 21 oz Cherry pie filling
- 1 cup Milk
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar. Beat with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
Add the vanilla extract and milk to the cream cheese mixture, mixing well until fully incorporated.
Gently fold in the whipped topping using a spatula until even and creamy. Set the mixture aside.
In a 9x13-inch baking dish, place a single layer of graham cracker sheets at the bottom to cover the entire base.
Spread half of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the graham cracker layer, smoothing it with a spatula.
Spoon half of the cherry pie filling over the cream cheese layer, spreading it evenly.
Add another layer of graham crackers on top of the cherry filling.
Spread the remaining cream cheese mixture evenly on top of the second graham cracker layer.
Spoon the remaining cherry pie filling on top of the cream layer, spreading it evenly for the final layer.
Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the layers to set and the flavors to meld.
When ready to serve, cut into squares and enjoy this creamy, fruity delight straight from the icebox!
