Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
- 1 (21 oz) can cherry pie filling
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons sugar
Instructions
Make the Crumble:
- Combine Ingredients: Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar in a bowl until well combined. This creates the crumble mixture.
- Set Aside: Set the crumble mixture aside while you prepare the fluff.
Prepare the Fluff:
- Beat Cream Cheese: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. This ensures a creamy base.
- Add Sugar and Vanilla: Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until well blended. This sweetens and flavors the fluff.
- Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until the mixture is smooth. This creates a light and airy texture.
Assemble the Layers:
- First Crumble Layer: In your serving dish, layer half of the crumble mixture at the bottom. This creates the first layer.
- Cream Cheese Layer: Spread the cream cheese mixture over the crumble layer evenly. This creates the creamy middle layer.
- Cherry Pie Filling Layer: Top with the cherry pie filling, spreading it out to cover the cream cheese layer completely. This adds the fruity layer.
- Final Crumble Layer: Finish by sprinkling the remaining crumble mixture over the cherry layer. This adds the final crunchy topping.
Chill:
- Refrigerate: Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to firm up. This allows the dessert to set.
Notes
- Soften cream cheese for smooth mixing.
- Fold whipped topping gently.
- Chill thoroughly for best texture.
- Experiment with different pie fillings.
- Use pre made graham cracker crumbs.
