Ingredients

Base:
1¾ cups graham cracker crumbs
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup melted butter

Filling:

1 - 48 g (1 5/8 oz) envelope of dessert topping mix (such as Dream Whip), made according to package directions
½ lb (250g) cream cheese, softened at room temperature
1 cup icing sugar (aka confectioner’s sugar or powdered sugar)
1 tsp pure vanilla

Topping:

1 – 540ml can cherry pie filling

Instructions

Base:

In medium-sized bowl mix graham cracker crumbs and sugar together. Mix in the melted butter.
Press mixture into lightly greased 9” square pan. Refrigerate for 1 hour.

Filling:

In bowl of stand mixer fitted with whisk attachment, prepare the dessert topping mix according to package directions. Set aside. In clean bowl of stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the cheese and icing sugar together. Beat in the vanilla. Remove bowl from mixer and, by hand, using a rubber spatula, fold in the whipped topping, just until blended. Spread filling evenly over chilled base. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
