✔ In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar.
✔ Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×9-inch baking dish.
✔ Chill in the fridge for 10 minutes while you prepare the filling.
✅ Chilling helps the crust set for a firmer texture!
2️⃣ Make the Cheesecake Filling
✔ In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
✔ Gently fold in whipped topping until fluffy and well combined.
✔ Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the crust.
✅ For extra fluffiness, avoid overmixing the whipped topping!
3️⃣ Add the Cherry Topping
✔ Spoon cherry pie filling over the cheesecake layer, spreading evenly.
✔ Garnish with fresh cherries or chopped nuts if desired.
✅ For a homemade touch, use fresh cherry compote instead of canned filling!
4️⃣ Chill & Serve!
✔ Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (overnight is best).
✔ Slice into squares and serve chilled!
✅ The longer it chills, the better the flavor and texture!
