Description
No-Bake Cherry Yum Yum is a delightful dessert that combines a creamy filling with a crunchy graham cracker crust and a sweet cherry topping, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
- 1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish to form the crust.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the graham cracker crust in the baking dish.
- Spoon the cherry pie filling over the cream cheese layer, spreading it evenly.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
- Cut into squares and serve chilled.
Notes
- For a chocolate twist, substitute half of the graham cracker crumbs with chocolate cookie crumbs.
- You can also use other fruit pie fillings, like blueberry or strawberry, for a different flavor.
