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.

How To Make Cherry Delight

1. Mix the crust ingredients and press them into a baking dish. Bake until golden.
2. Cream the cream cheese and sour cream together. Add confectioner’s sugar and vanilla and beat until smooth.
3. Gently fold in the Cool Whip until well combined.
4. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the cooled crust and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
5. Just before serving, top it off with a generous amount of cherry pie filling.
