  • Cooking Instructions
  • Begin by preparing the crust. In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, confectioners' sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture is well combined and resembles wet sand.
  • Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13 inch pan to form an even layer. Make sure to pack it tightly to prevent crumbling.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the remaining powdered sugar until smooth. Be careful not to overmix, as this can incorporate too much air.
  • Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until fully incorporated and the mixture is light and fluffy. Cherry Delight is part of a collection of no-bake desserts, making it a convenient choice for gatherings.
  • Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the crust, smoothing it out with a spatula.
  • Top the cream cheese layer with the cherry pie filling, spreading it evenly to cover the surface.
  • Cover the dessert with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least one hour, allowing it to set properly.
  • Extra Tips
  • For the best results, verify that your cream cheese and whipped topping are at room temperature before mixing to achieve a smooth filling.
  • Avoid overmixing the filling to maintain its light texture, and always press the crust firmly to verify it holds together once set.
  • Feel free to get creative with this recipe by trying different pie fillings or adding toppings like nuts or chocolate for an extra twist!
