The beauty of this cherry delight is in the layers: crunchy graham crackers, smooth cream cheese and scarlet cherry pie filling. Its appeal is undeniable, and it's incredibly easy to make.

Ingredients

1-1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
6 tablespoons butter, melted
FILLING:
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 carton (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed (3 cups)
1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling

Directions

In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, confectioners' sugar and butter. Press onto the bottom of a greased 8-in. square pan.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and confectioners' sugar until smooth; fold in whipped topping. Spread over crust. Spoon pie filling over top. Refrigerate until set, about 1 hour.

This smooth and creamy cheesecake-like treat is light, sweet and pretty, too. Convenience products make it quick and easy to prepare. “My husband also likes this dessert when I substitute blueberry pie filling,” notes Lanae Powell of McPherson, Kansas.
