Ingredients
Scale: 1x
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup melted butter
2 tbsp granulated sugar
2 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tub (8 oz) whipped topping, thawed
1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until evenly combined.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish to form a crust. Chill for 15 minutes.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
- Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Beat until fully incorporated.
- Fold in the whipped topping gently until light and fluffy.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled crust.

Notes
For best results, use full-fat cream cheese.
Try other pie fillings like blueberry, strawberry, or peach for variety.
This dessert holds up well when made a day in advance.
