🍒 Classic Cherry Delight
🛒 Ingredients (Serves 6–8)
For the base:
- 1 cup Graham cracker crumbs
- ¼ cup Butter (melted)
- 2 tbsp sugar
For the creamy layer:
- 1 cup Whipped cream or whipped topping
- 1 package (8 oz) Cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the cherry topping:
- 1 can (21 oz) Cherry pie filling
👨🍳 Instructions
1. Make the Crust
- Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar
- Press mixture into the bottom of a 9×9-inch dish
- Chill in the fridge while preparing filling
2. Prepare the Cream Layer
- Beat softened cream cheese with sugar and vanilla until smooth
- Fold in whipped cream gently to keep it airy
- Spread cream mixture over chilled crust
3. Add Cherry Topping
- Spread cherry pie filling evenly over the cream layer
4. Chill
- Refrigerate at least 2–3 hours (or overnight) before serving
5. Serve
- Slice into squares

🔥 Tips
- For extra crunch, sprinkle chopped nuts between layers
- Use fresh cherries in season with a little sugar if preferred
- Individual servings work well in small jars or cups
If you want, I can also give a no-bake high-protein version that’s lighter but still creamy and cherry-filled.
Do you want me to do that?
