Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup heavy whipping cream
- 21 oz cherry pie filling
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan lightly with butter or non-stick spray.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy.
Step 3
Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the mixture and blend until combined. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the crust.
Step 4
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until it turns a light golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy.
Step 6
In another small bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until evenly incorporated.
Step 7
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crust, ensuring a smooth layer.
Step 8
Top the cream cheese layer with an even distribution of the cherry pie filling. Spread it gently to avoid mixing the layers.
Step 9
Refrigerate the assembled dessert for at least 2 hours or until set.
Step 10
Once chilled, slice into squares and serve. Enjoy your Red Cherry Dream Squares!
