The crust is crunchy and buttery, the cheesecake layer is rich and smooth, and the cherry filling adds the perfect balance of sweetness and tartness. It’s a match made in dessert heaven!

Ingredients

  • Crust:
    • 2 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
    • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
    • 3/4 cup butter, melted

  • Cheesecake Layer:
    • 2 (8-ounce) blocks cream cheese, softened

    • 1 cup confectioner’s sugar
    • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

  • Topping:
    • 1 (21-ounce) can cherry pie filling

Instructions

  2. In a large bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs (2 1/2 cups), melted butter (3/4 cup), and granulated sugar (1/4 cup). Press into the prepared baking dish. Bake in preheated oven until crust edges are golden, 12 to 14 minutes. Cool completely, on a wire rack, for about 45 minutes.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together cream cheese (2 blocks) and sour cream (1/4 cup) with an electric mixer until evenly combined.
  4. Add the confectioner’s sugar (1 cup) and vanilla extract (2 teaspoons) and beat for 2 minutes.
  5. Gently fold in the Cool Whip (1 tub) until well combined. Do not overmix!
  6. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the completely cooled crust. Refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours, or overnight.
  7. Just before serving, spread the cherry pie filling (1 can) over the top of the cream cheese layer. Cut into squares and enjoy!

Ingredients and Recipe Notes

  • Cool Whip: This recipe calls for Cool Whip, but you can also use homemade whipped cream for a different twist. Just keep in mind that homemade whipped cream may not be as stable as Cool Whip, so adjust the quantity accordingly.
  • Cherries: While cherry pie filling is the star of this recipe, you can get creative and try other pie fillings like apple or blueberry for a different flavor.
  • Cream Cheese: Soften the cream cheese by microwaving it in 10-second intervals until it feels soft and creamy.
  • Crust: The graham cracker crust can be easily substituted with other cookies like Oreos or Nilla Wafers for a unique twist.
