7 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 9 whole crackers)
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 container cool whip, 8 ounces
1 can cherry pie filling, 21 ounces

Steps:

Add the butter to a medium bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds or until melted. Add the graham cracker crumbs and sugar and mix well to combine. Pat the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a sprayed 8 x 8 baking dish. Set aside.
Add the cream cheese to a large bowl. Mix with a mixer until the cream cheese of smooth and free of any lumps. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla and mix well. Add the cool whip and mix until the cool whip and cream cheese are combined, but don't overmix.
Spread the filling evenly over the graham cracker crust, using a spoon or offset spatula. Spoon the cherry pie filling over the top and carefully spread it evenly over the filling.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. I like to leave it overnight.
Refrigerate leftovers.

Ingredients

1 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs* ((10 full graham cracker sheets))
1/3 cup butter (melted)
1/4 cup sugar ((I use slightly less than 1/4 cup))
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese (softened)
1 (8 ounce) container Cool Whip (thawed)
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling ((or other favorite pie filling))

Steps:

Combine all crust ingredients and firmly press with fingers into a 9x9-inch pan or 9-inch pie dish.
Using a stand or hand-held electric mixer, whip softened cream cheese until fluffy. Stir in the Cool Whip, confectioners' sugar, lemon juice and vanilla with the cream cheese until smooth.
Spread cream cheese mixture over graham cracker crust.
Pour cherry pie filling over cream cheese mixture and spread in an even layer. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or overnight. I chill mine overnight for best results. The longer this dessert is refrigerated, the better it will set up.
Cut into squares and serve!

This dessert is the ideal way to get your cherry fix, especially when they're not in season. Lovely enough to serve to guests who don't need to know how quick and easy it is to make. Nice served with a dollop of whipped cream.

NO-BAKE CHERRY DESSERT

No-Bake Cherry Dessert image

"I adapted this recipe from one given to me by my first best friend, Sandy, in 1966," said Judy Harris of McRae, Georgia. "I often made it for my children and now when they come home for a visit, they still love it. I shared this recipe with a local restaurant owner and he tweaked it for his menu."
