Old-Fashioned Cherry Cream Delight

Old-Fashioned Cherry Cream Delight is a classic no-bake dessert made with a buttery graham cracker crust, a smooth and creamy cream cheese layer, and a sweet cherry topping. It is light, refreshing, and perfect for holidays, family gatherings, or any occasion when you need an easy dessert.

Ingredients for the crust: 2 cups graham cracker crumbs, ½ cup unsalted butter melted, and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar.

Ingredients for the cream cheese layer: 8 ounces cream cheese softened, 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 cup whipped topping or homemade whipped cream.

Ingredients for the topping: 1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling.

To prepare the crust, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar in a bowl until evenly mixed. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish to create an even crust. Refrigerate for 15 to 20 minutes to help it set.

To make the cream cheese layer, beat the softened cream cheese in a medium bowl until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract and mix until fully combined. Gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is light and fluffy.

To assemble the dessert, spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled crust. Spoon the cherry pie filling over the top and gently spread it to cover the entire surface.

Refrigerate the dessert for at least 2 to 3 hours or overnight so the layers can fully set. Slice into squares and serve chilled.
