Ingredients

CRUST:

  • 1 ¾ cups crushed graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup melted butter

CHEESECAKE FILLING:

  • 2 cups Cool Whip
  • 1 8 oz. package Cream cheese, softened
  • cup granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 28 oz. can Cherry pie filling

Instructions

  • Spray a 9x9 inch baking pan with nonstick baking spray.
  • In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar together. Spread graham cracker crust evenly on the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
  • Using an electric hand or stand mixer, beat together the Cool Whip and cream cheese until smooth.
  • Add sugar and vanilla until well blended.
  • Pour the cheesecake mixture on top of the crust. Spread evenly.
  • Top with the cherry pie filling.
  • Chill for at least 3-5 hours (overnight is even better) if storing in the fridge overnight, cover with plastic wrap.

Notes

  • Softened Cream Cheese. Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
  • Firm Pressing. Firmly press the graham cracker crumb mixture into your dish to create a compact and even crust. Use the bottom of a glass or measuring cup for even pressure.
  • Quality Cherry Pie Filling. Use a good quality cherry pie filling for the best flavor.
  • Spread Evenly. Spread the cherry topping evenly over the cream cheese layer for a consistent flavor in every bite.
  • Chill Before Serving. Chilling cherry delight is key! Make sure to chill for at least 3 hours but it tastes the best when it chills over night.
