🛒 Ingredients

(Serves 12–15 people)

For the Crust:

  • 2 cups crushed graham crackers (or digestive biscuits)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar

For the Cream Layer:

  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 tub (8 oz) whipped topping (like Cool Whip)

For the Fruit Topping:

  • 2 cans (21 oz each) cherry pie filling (or blueberry, strawberry)
  • Extra whipped topping (optional for garnish)

🔪 Instructions (Step-by-Step)

1. Make the Crust

  • Combine crushed graham crackers, sugar, and melted butter in a bowl.
  • Press firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  • Refrigerate to set while preparing the next layer.

2. Creamy Middle Layer

  • Beat cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
  • Mix in powdered sugar and vanilla.
  • Gently fold in whipped topping until well combined.
  • Spread this mixture evenly over the crust.

3. Top It Off

  • Spoon fruit pie filling evenly over the creamy layer.
  • Spread gently with a spatula to avoid disturbing the base.

4. Chill & Serve

  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (overnight is best).
  • Cut into squares and serve cold.

🧑‍🍳 Methods & Pro Tips

✔ Crust Variations: Try vanilla wafers, shortbread, or Oreo crumbs for fun twists.
✔ Fruit Choices: Cherry is classic, but blueberry or strawberry adds variety.
✔ Make-Ahead Friendly: Prepares beautifully the night before.
✔ Serving Tip: Use a sharp knife for clean slices.

🏛 Formation (Why This Works)

  • Bottom Layer: Crunchy, buttery crust for texture and stability.
