Directions
-
Grease the sides and bottom of a springform pan (or standard cake pans).
-
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and white sugar. Mix well until the texture resembles wet sand.
-
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and slightly up the sides of the prepared pan. Place the pan in the freezer while you prepare the filling.
-
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add half of the prepared Dreamwhip mixture to the cream cheese.
-
Beat the mixture on low speed until the Dreamwhip is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth and uniform.
-
Pour the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled graham cracker crust.
-
Spread the cherry pie filling in an even layer on top of the cream cheese mixture.
-
Spread the remaining Dreamwhip mixture over the cherry filling, covering it completely.
-
Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and place it in the freezer for at least 24 hours, or until firm.
-
Remove from the freezer and allow to thaw at room temperature for about 2 hours before slicing and serving.
Note
Storage: Keep refrigerated after thawing. This dessert can be kept in the refrigerator for several days. For longer storage, keep it frozen and thaw before serving.
Variations: You can substitute the cherry pie filling with other flavors such as blueberry, strawberry, or raspberry for different taste profiles.
Tips: Using a light pie filling works well and won't overpower the sweetness of the Dreamwhip. Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened for a smoother texture.
