Classic Cherry Delight Recipe

Ingredients

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 8 oz whipped topping (Cool Whip), thawed
  • 1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling

Instructions

  1. Prepare crust: In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until combined. Press evenly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Place in the refrigerator to chill.
  2. Make cream layer: In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and beat until well combined. Fold in the whipped topping gently until fully incorporated.
  3. Assemble: Spread the cream mixture evenly over the chilled crust. Top with the cherry pie filling, spreading it evenly.
  4. Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 2–4 hours (or overnight) before serving to allow layers to set.
  5. Serve: Cut into squares and enjoy this creamy, fruity delight!

If you like, I can also give you a no-bake variation that sets faster. Would you like me to make that version?
