Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups heavy whipping cream
- 21 ounces cherry pie filling
Instructions
Prepare the crust by combining the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar in a medium mixing bowl. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to form a crust. Use the back of a measuring cup to compact it tightly. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula until fully incorporated. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled graham cracker crust using a spatula or offset knife.
Top the cream cheese layer with the cherry pie filling, spreading it evenly across the dessert.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the layers to set.
Slice into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy your Potluck Perfect Cherry Delight!
