Step 1: Building the Foundation with a Graham Cracker Crust

  • Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until they form a texture resembling damp sand.
  • Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish to create a delectable crust. Pop it into the fridge to chill while you work on the next layer.

Step 2: Whipping Up the Creamy Cheesecake Layer

  • Beat softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy in a large mixing bowl.
  • Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, blending until fluffy.
  • Gently fold in the whipped topping until everything is beautifully combined.

Step 3: Layering Goodness and Flavor

  • Spread your creamy cheesecake mixture evenly over the chilled graham cracker crust, ensuring a smooth surface.
  • Now, it’s time for the star of the show—spoon the cherry pie filling over the cheesecake layer, spreading it out lovingly to cover every inch.

Step 4: Chilling, Anticipation, and Indulgence

  • Place your masterpiece in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or better yet, overnight. This allows the layers to set and the flavors to mingle, creating pure dessert magic.
  • When the time comes to serve, cut into squares or rectangles, and let each bite carry you to dessert paradise.

Tips for a Sweet Success:

  • Softened cream cheese makes for easier mixing and a smoother cheesecake layer.
  • Feel free to experiment with different pie fillings like blueberry, strawberry, or even a mix for playful flavor twists.
  • Leftovers (if any!) can be stored in the fridge, covered, for a few days—though it’s unlikely they’ll last that long!
