CHERRY DELIGHT

I am so excited to finally share this recipe on the blog! It is a family recipe and a dessert we always look forward to during holidays. It's super easy to make, requires no baking (although I did bake the crust to set it even more) and looks so festive! My Husband's Grandmother used to make this dessert for holidays. I never had a chance to meet her but I always think of her when this treat appears on the holiday table. My brother-in-law took over the tradition of making the Cherry Delight.

Ingredients Needed:

  • graham crackers
  • butter
  • sugar
  • cream cheese
  • whipped topping
  • powdered sugar
  • vanilla extract
  • cherry pie filling

HOW TO MAKE CHERRY DELIGHT?

  • Line a 13" x 9" pan with aluminum foil.

  • In a large mixing bowl, stir together cracker crumbs, sugar and melted butter. Press into the bottom of the pan.

  • To prebake the crust (it makes it sturdier): bake for 10 minutes at 375 degrees F. Cool completely before adding the filling layer.

  • In a large mixing bowl, mix cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Add vanilla and powdered sugar and mix well about 2 minutes. Add whipped topping in two additions, mix just until combined. Do not overmix. Spread the filling over the crust.

  • Refrigerate until set, at least 2 hours or overnight. Cut the dessert into squares. Top with filling just before serving.

  • Refrigerate leftovers.

WHAT IS CHERRY DELIGHT?

Cherry Delight - the name says it all! This dessert is sweet, creamy and absolutely delightful! It's bound to become a hit this holiday season. Actually, it's perfect for summer parties too, when you need a no-bake dessert or any get-togethers!

The graham crust can be made with graham crackers. The creamy layer is a no-bake cheesecake layer that requires only 4 ingredients mixed together. It will set and have a mousse like texture. The topping is our favorite pie filling: cherry. You can simply customize this dessert to your liking by using different cookies for the crust, adding different extract to the creamy filling and using your favorite pie filling.
