Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons sugar
Cheesecake Fluff
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
Topping
- 1 (21 oz) can cherry pie filling
Instructions
- Make the Crumble: In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until evenly mixed to create the crumble base. Set this mixture aside.
- Prepare the Fluff: Beat the softened cream cheese in a large mixing bowl until it becomes smooth and creamy.
- Add Sugar and Vanilla: Gradually beat in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture, being careful not to deflate the fluffiness.
- Assemble the Layers: In your chosen serving dish, spread half of the graham cracker crumble evenly on the bottom.
- Add the Cream Cheese Mixture: Evenly spread the prepared cream cheese fluff over the crumble layer.
- Top with Cherry Filling: Spoon the cherry pie filling on top of the cream cheese layer, spreading it out to cover completely.
- Finish with Crumble: Sprinkle the remaining graham cracker crumble over the cherry topping for added texture.
- Chill: Refrigerate the assembled dessert for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld and the dessert to firm up before serving.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened for easier mixing and a smoother texture.
- Use a light hand when folding in the whipped topping to keep the fluff airy.
- Refrigerate for longer if you want a firmer texture.
- This dessert is best served chilled but can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free graham cracker crumbs.
