Ingredients
Scale
Graham Cracker Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Cream Cheese Filling:
- 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 container (8 ounces) whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
Topping:
- 1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling
Instructions
- Graham Cracker Crust: In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until evenly combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×9-inch baking dish to form the crust. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
- Cream Cheese Filling: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and beat until creamy. Fold in the whipped topping until well combined.
- Assembly: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled crust. Top with cherry pie filling, spreading it out evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to set. Serve chilled.
Notes
- You can substitute the cherry pie filling with blueberry, strawberry, or any fruit topping of your choice.
- For a firmer crust, bake it at 350°F for 8–10 minutes and let cool before adding the filling.
