CHERRY DELIGHT

Provided by Jasmine Smith

Categories     Cakes

Time 3h5m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups graham cracker crumbs (from about 15 [2 1/4- x 5-in.] crackers)
6 tablespoons (3 oz.) unsalted butter, melted
¼ cup granulated sugar
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ cup heavy whipping cream
2 (8-oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened
½ cup sour cream
1 cup (about 4 oz.) powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (21-oz.) can cherry pie filling

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Stir together graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, granulated sugar, and salt in a large bowl until combined. Press mixture evenly into bottom of an 11- x 7-inch baking dish. Bake in preheated oven until crust is toasty and edges are golden, 12 to 14 minutes. Transfer baking dish to a wire rack; let crust cool completely, about 45 minutes.
  • Beat heavy whipping cream in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 1 minute. Set whipped cream aside. Beat cream cheese and sour cream in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Add powdered sugar and vanilla; beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  • Fold half of whipped cream into cream cheese mixture using a rubber spatula until just combined; repeat with remaining whipped cream. Spoon cream cheese mixture into cooled crust; smooth top using a small offset spatula. Pour cherry pie filling over cream cheese layer, spreading to edges of cream cheese mixture. Cover and chill until filling is firm, about 2 hours. Cut into 10 bars, and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe cherries. This will ensure that your Cherry Delight has the best flavor.
  • Pit the cherries before using them. You can use a cherry pitter or a knife to do this.
  • Don't overcook the cherries. They should be cooked until they are soft but still hold their shape.
  • Chill the Cherry Delight before serving. This will help it to set and make it easier to slice.
  • Serve the Cherry Delight with whipped cream or ice cream. This will add a delicious touch of sweetness and creaminess.

Conclusion:

Cherry Delight is a classic summer dessert that is easy to make and always a hit. It's the perfect way to use up fresh cherries, and it's a delicious and refreshing treat that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a summer dessert, give Cherry Delight a try. You won't be disappointed!
