Ingredients
Scale
For the Graham Cracker Crust:
2 packages graham crackers
2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
12 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
For the Cheesecake Layer:
4 (8 oz) blocks cream cheese, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
16 oz Cool Whip (whipped topping)
For the Topping:
1 can cherry pie filling
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: Add graham crackers to a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form. Add flour and sugar, pulsing until combined. Drizzle in the melted butter and mix until the texture is similar to damp sand.
- Press and Set: Press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch pan to create an even layer. Set aside.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and mix until fully incorporated. Fold in Cool Whip until creamy and uniform.
- Assemble the Bars: Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the crust layer. Use a spatula to smooth the top.
- Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.
- Serve: Cut into bars and top each slice with a generous spoonful of cherry pie filling before serving.
Notes
For best texture, use full-fat cream cheese and let it soften completely.
Chill overnight for firmer bars.
Add parchment to make removal easy.
Change up the topping with other fruit pie fillings.
