Instructions:
Step 1: Make the Crust
In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until crumbly. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate.
Step 2: Prepare the Filling
In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until smooth and spreadable. In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
Step 3: Assemble and Chill
Spread the filling evenly into the prepared crust. Refrigerate for 2–3 hours, or until the filling is firm.
Step 4: Add Topping and Serve
Once set, spoon the cherry pie filling evenly over the top. Serve immediately or keep chilled until ready to enjoy.
