A creamy cherry dessert layered on a graham cracker base, topped with whipped cream and cherry pie filling, chilled for best texture.

# Ingredients Required:

→ Crust

01 - 180 grams graham cracker crumbs
02 - 50 grams granulated sugar
03 - 75 grams unsalted butter, melted

→ Filling

04 - 450 grams cream cheese, softened
05 - 120 grams powdered sugar
06 - 5 milliliters vanilla extract
07 - 240 milliliters heavy whipping cream

→ Topping

08 - 1 can (595 grams) cherry pie filling

# Guide to Cooking:

01 - In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until evenly moistened. Press approximately 30 grams into the base of each serving vessel or spread evenly in a trifle dish. Set aside.
02 - Beat softened cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth. Incorporate powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully blended.
03 - In a separate chilled bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until homogeneous.
04 - Spoon or pipe the cream cheese filling over the crust layer in each serving cup or over the trifle base. Smooth surface with a spatula.
05 - Top each assembled portion with cherry pie filling. Refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours to achieve optimal texture before serving.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Use softened cream cheese at room temperature for smoother blending and avoid lumps.
