Classic Cherry Delight Recipe

INGREDENT

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 8 oz whipped topping (Cool Whip)
  • 1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix well, then press firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Chill for 30 minutes.
  2. Make the filling: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until creamy. Gently fold in whipped topping until fully combined.
  3. Assemble: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled crust.
  4. Top with cherries: Spoon cherry pie filling evenly over the cream cheese layer.
  5. Chill & serve: Refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours (or overnight) before serving for best flavor.

If you want, I can also give you a no-bake version with extra creamy layers so it tastes bakery-style.
