Ingredients
- Crust:
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- Filling:
- 1 (8-oz) package cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- Cherry pie filling
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
To prepare the crust, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and white sugar together and press it into an 11'' x 7'' pan or pie dish. Bake for about 8 minutes. (If you prefer, you can leave the crust unbaked and just chill it in the refrigerator before filling.)
To prepare the filling, whip the heavy cream until it thickens and until small peaks form. (Don't over-beat, or it will start to turn to butter!)
In a separate bowl, cream the cream cheese and sugar. Fold in the heavy cream by hand. When fully incorporated, fold the mixture into the prepared graham cracker crust.
Spread evenly and then top the pie with a can of cherry pie filling.
Refrigerate overnight. (The longer you can refrigerate the pie before serving, the better it will taste!)
