Cherry Delight Pie

This dessert has been called so many different things, but I grew up with it being called a layered delight dessert. 

8oz package of Cream Cheese, room temperature

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 tsp Vanilla
8oz tub of Whipped Topping (like cool whip type)
1 can Cherry Pie Filling

Graham Cracker Crust

Beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add vanilla and mix until combined. Fold in Cool Whip. Spread mixture in pie crust and refrigerate until firm. Top with cherry pie filling. Top with more whipped topping if desired. 

No Bake Cherry Cheesecake

I've made many cheesecakes from scratch and had good luck and bad. I've also made many no bake versions with the same results. This time I decided to combine a few parts of both. The results were as close to a homemade cheesecake as possible! The hubby said, "It's perfect!" That is saying something, knowing his sweet tooth! 

Graham Cracker Crust
8 ounces Cream Cheese (softened)
1/4 cup Sugar

Jell-O No Bake Classic Cheesecake Dessert Kit

Cherry Pie Filling (1 can)


Place cream cheese in a large bowl and, using an electric mixer, beat until smooth and creamy. Add sugar and mix until combined and sugar is dissolved.

Set cream cheese mixture aside in another bowl. Mix the milk and no bake filling mix together following box directions. Add the cream cheese mixture and no bake mix together. Stir to combine.

Spread cheesecake mixture evenly over prepared graham cracker crust.

Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight. Slice and top with cherry pie filling.

Cherry Delight Dip

I made this dip for my son's 16th Birthday Party, and it was a big hit! Both of my daughter-in-laws asked for the recipe so they could make it for their families! Now that's a compliment if I ever heard one!!!

8oz package of Cream Cheese, room temp
1/2 cup Marshmallow Fluff
1/2 tsp Vanilla
8oz tub of Cool Whip
1 can Cherry Pie Filling

Beat the cream cheese and fluff until smooth. Add vanilla and mix until combined. Fold in Cool Whip. Spread in a serving dish and top with cherry pie filling. Serve with graham crackers or vanilla wafers.
