INSTRUCTIONS:
Step 1: Building the Foundation with a Graham Cracker Crust
- Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until they form a texture resembling damp sand.
- Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish to create a delectable crust. Pop it into the fridge to chill while you work on the next layer.
Step 2: Whipping Up the Creamy Cheesecake Layer
- Beat softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy in a large mixing bowl.
- Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, blending until fluffy.
- Gently fold in the whipped topping until everything is beautifully combined.
Step 3: Layering Goodness and Flavor
- Spread your creamy cheesecake mixture evenly over the chilled graham cracker crust, ensuring a smooth surface.
- Now, it’s time for the star of the show—spoon the cherry pie filling over the cheesecake layer, spreading it out lovingly to cover every inch.
Step 4: Chilling, Anticipation, and Indulgence
- Place your masterpiece in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or better yet, overnight. This allows the layers to set and the flavors to mingle, creating pure dessert magic.
- When the time comes to serve, cut into squares or rectangles, and let each bite carry you to dessert paradise.
Tips for a Sweet Success:
- Softened cream cheese makes for easier mixing and a smoother cheesecake layer.
- Feel free to experiment with different pie fillings like blueberry, strawberry, or even a mix for playful flavor twists.
- Leftovers (if any!) can be stored in the fridge, covered, for a few days—though it’s unlikely they’ll last that long!
Hands down, one of my all time favorite dishes!
