Ingredients
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 21 ounces cherry pie filling
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar. Stir in melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Step 2
Press the crust mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of a 9x9-inch pan. Place the pan in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the filling.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together using a hand or stand mixer until smooth and creamy.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream with the vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
Step 5
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated and smooth.
Step 6
Spread half of the cream mixture evenly over the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Step 7
Add an even layer of the cherry pie filling over the cream layer.
Step 8
Top the cherry filling with the remaining cream mixture, spreading it evenly to cover the filling completely.
Step 9
Optionally, garnish the top layer with additional graham cracker crumbs or a few spoonfuls of cherry filling for a decorative touch.
Step 10
Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the dessert to set and flavors to meld.
Step 11
Cut into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy your Cherry Cha Cha!
