Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for crust)
• 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 0.75 cups Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Heavy whipping cream, cold
• 1 can (21 ounces) Cherry pie filling
• 0.5 cup Fresh cherries (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.

Step 2

Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust. Use the back of a spoon or the bottom of a glass to compact it tightly. Chill the crust in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes while preparing the filling.

Step 3

In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.

Step 4

Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture, beating until fully incorporated.

Step 5

In a separate chilled bowl, whip the cold heavy whipping cream with a hand mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture with a spatula, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream. Mix until fully combined and smooth.

Step 7

Spread the cream filling evenly over the prepared graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Spoon the cherry pie filling over the cream layer, spreading it evenly.

Step 9

Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until set. Overnight chilling is recommended for the best texture.

Step 10

If desired, garnish the pie with fresh cherries before serving. Slice and enjoy your Cherry Breeze Pie!
