Ingredients
Scale
1 (9 oz) prepared graham cracker crust
16 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
8 oz whipped topping, thawed
1 (21 oz) can cherry pie filling (or preferred pie filling)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, use a stand mixer or hand mixer to beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy.
- Carefully incorporate the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture using a silicone spatula, blending gently until just combined.
- Pour the filling into the graham cracker crust, using your spatula to create an even, smooth surface.
- Layer the cherry pie filling over the cheesecake base, spreading it evenly for a polished finish.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the cheesecake to firm up before serving.
Notes
Let cream cheese fully soften for best results.
Use a chocolate or shortbread crust for variety.
For a lighter version, use low-fat cream cheese and whipped topping.
Make up to 24 hours in advance.
Store in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze without the topping.
