Ingredients

Units Scale

Graham Cracker Crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

Cheesecake Filling:

  • 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 (8 oz) tub whipped topping (like Cool Whip)

Topping:

  • 1 (21 oz) can cherry pie filling
  • Additional whipped topping and graham crumbs for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Graham Cracker Crust: In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until combined. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish to form the crust. Chill while you prepare the filling.
  2. Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Fold in the whipped topping until fully incorporated.
  3. Assembly: Spread the cream cheese layer evenly over the chilled crust. Spoon the cherry pie filling evenly over the top. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until set.
  4. Serving: Before serving, garnish with extra whipped topping and a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs if desired. Slice and serve chilled.

Notes

  • For a homemade touch, use fresh cherry compote instead of canned filling.
  • You can also make individual servings in jars or cups for parties.
  • Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
