### **Ingredients for Classic Cherry Delight:**
#### For the Crust:
– **1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs** (you can also use crushed digestive biscuits)
– **1/4 cup granulated sugar**
– **1/2 cup unsalted butter**, melted
#### For the Cream Cheese Layer:
– **8 oz cream cheese**, softened
– **1 cup powdered sugar**
– **1 cup whipped topping** (such as Cool Whip)
#### For the Cherry Topping:
– **1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling** (or you can use fresh cherries if you prefer)
### **How to Make Classic Cherry Delight:**
#### **Step 1: Prepare the Crust**
Start by combining the **graham cracker crumbs** and **granulated sugar** in a medium-sized bowl. Pour in the **melted butter** and mix well until everything is fully incorporated. The mixture should resemble wet sand. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish or glass pan. Use the back of a spoon or your fingers to pack it down firmly.
Once the crust is evenly spread, place the pan in the fridge to chill for at least 10 minutes, allowing the crust to set before adding the next layers.
**Step 2: Prepare the Cream Cheese Layer**
In a separate bowl, beat the **cream cheese** and **powdered sugar** together using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add the **whipped topping** and continue mixing until the filling is light and fluffy. This creates a soft, airy layer that will contrast beautifully with the crunchy crust and the tart cherry topping.
