Ingredients

Graham Cracker Crust

1½ cups crushed graham cracker crumbs
6 tablespoons butter unsalted or salted
2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Cherry Delight Filling

8 ounces block cream cheese full-fat
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ cup powdered sugar
1½ cups whipping cream
1 (21-ounce) can premium cherry pie filling

Instructions

Mix the crushed graham crackers with the butter and sugar. Press it into a greased 9x9-inch baking dish.
Using a stand mixer with the paddle attachment on medium speed, beat the cream cheese, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl using a hand mixer on medium beat the whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
Spread the cream cheese mixture over the graham cracker crust using an offset spatula. Carefully spoon the cherries over the whipped cream mixture, cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours up to overnight.

Notes

For ease in cutting refrigerate for at least 4 hours up to overnight.
Rinse and dry the knife between cuts for the cleanest slices. Use a small spatula for those tight corners.
Store double-covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
