🔪 Instructions

  1. Make the crust
    Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish or springform pan. Chill while you prepare the filling.
  2. Make the cheesecake filling
    Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla, mixing until combined. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream to stiff peaks (if not using whipped topping), then fold into the cream cheese mixture.
  3. Assemble
    Spread the filling over the crust evenly. Top with cherry pie filling.
  4. Chill
    Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
  5. Serve and enjoy
    Slice and serve chilled. Garnish with fresh mint or extra whipped cream if desired.

🎉 Tips & Variations

  • Swap the cherry topping for blueberries, strawberries, or lemon curd
  • Use chocolate graham crackers or Oreos for a fun twist on the crust
  • Make individual servings in mason jars or dessert cups
  • For a lighter version, try reduced-fat cream cheese and whipped topping
