Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix well until the texture resembles wet sand.

Step 2

Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9x13-inch pan to form an even crust. Place the pan in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the cream cheese filling.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese, continuing to beat until the mixture is fully combined and free of lumps.

Step 5

In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.

Step 6

Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until evenly combined, creating a light and fluffy filling.

Step 7

Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled graham cracker crust using a spatula.

Step 8

Top the cream cheese filling with the cherry pie filling, spreading it into an even layer.

Step 9

Cover the dessert with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.

Step 10

Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your Elsie's Cherry Delight Dessert!
