Classic Cherry Delight

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Make the crust:
    In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well combined.
    Press firmly into the bottom of an 8×8-inch or 9×9-inch dish.
    Chill in the fridge while preparing the filling.
  2. Make the creamy filling:
    In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla; mix well.
    Fold in the whipped topping gently until fluffy and well combined.
  3. Assemble:
    Spread the creamy mixture evenly over the chilled crust.
    Spoon the cherry pie filling evenly on top.
  4. Chill:
    Cover and refrigerate for at least 2–4 hours (overnight is best!) to let it set.
  5. Serve:
    Slice into squares and enjoy the creamy, fruity, crunchy layers in every bite!

💡 Tips

  • You can substitute crushed vanilla wafers or digestive biscuits for the crust.
  • Try with other pie fillings like blueberry, strawberry, or peach for fun variations!
  • For extra flavor, add a splash of lemon juice to the cream cheese layer.
