INSTRUCTIONS:
Prepare the Crust:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined and the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the Crust:
- Press the graham cracker mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9x9-inch square baking dish, forming a firm and even crust layer. Use the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed glass to press it down firmly.
Make the Filling:
- In a separate mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese, and beat until well combined and smooth.
- In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
Assemble the Layers:
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the prepared graham cracker crust, creating a smooth layer.
Add the Cherry Topping:
- Spoon the cherry pie filling over the cream cheese layer, spreading it out evenly to cover the surface.
Chill and Serve:
- Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate the Cherry Delight for at least 4 hours, or until set.
- Once chilled, slice into squares and serve chilled, savoring the delightful combination of creamy filling and sweet cherries.
- ENJOY IT ❤️
