Ingredients

Graham Cracker Crust

  • 6 tbsp Butter melted
  • 1 1/2 cup Graham Cracker Crumbs
  • 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar

Cheesecake Filling

  • 16 oz Cream Cheese softened
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream cold
  • 1 tsp Cornstarch
  • Cherry Pie Filling

Instructions

  • Step 1: Prepare the Graham Cracker Crust
    Start by grabbing your food processor. Toss in the graham crackers, and follow it up with some melted butter. The key here is to ensure that your butter is completely melted. Give it a good blend until you achieve a texture where the mixture holds together when pressed.
    Pro tip: Before adding the mixture to your pan, spray a bit of non-stick spray along the edges for easy removal later.
    Spread the graham cracker crust in the pan, making sure it's even but not overly thick in certain areas. Pop it in the refrigerator to set while you move on to the next step.
    Step 2: Make the Creamy Filling
    Now comes the star of the show – the creamy cheesecake filling. Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature, and beat it for about 30 seconds until it's nice and soft. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing it all together.
    Slowly incorporate cold heavy whipping cream into the mixture, gradually increasing the speed until you reach stiff peaks. This step is crucial for the light and fluffy texture of your cheesecake.





    Step 3: Assemble and Chill
    Carefully fold the creamy mixture onto the graham cracker crust, ensuring it's evenly spread. Once that's done, it's time to refrigerate. A minimum of four hours is recommended, but overnight will give you the best results. This chilling process allows the cheesecake to set and achieve that perfect, firm texture.
    Step 4: Cherry on Top (Literally)
    The next day (or after at least four hours), it's time for the finishing touch. Gently release the spring pan, revealing your beautifully set cheesecake. Top it off with cherry pie filling (or your preferred flavor) for that extra burst of sweetness.
    Step 5: Enjoy the Fruits of Your Labor
    Slice yourself a piece of this heavenly creation and savor the fruits of your labor. The combination of the velvety cheesecake with the sweet cherry topping is sure to leave your taste buds dancing. And don't worry if the presentation isn't perfect; it's the taste that truly matters.
