Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream, room temperature
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Topping

  • 1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Press a graham cracker crust evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Chill the crust while you prepare the filling to help it firm up nicely.
  2. Make the Cheese Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sour cream, sugar, and vanilla extract, blending continuously until the mixture is silky and fully combined.
  3. Assemble the Pie: Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the chilled crust, smoothing the surface with a spatula for a polished, uniform look.
  4. Add the Cherry Topping: Gently spoon the cherry pie filling over the cream cheese layer, distributing the cherries evenly without breaking them up too much to maintain texture.
  5. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the pie for at least 3 hours to allow the filling to set properly. Once chilled, slice, serve, and enjoy your delicious cherry cheese pie.

Notes

  • Use cream cheese and sour cream at room temperature to avoid lumps and create a smooth filling.
  • Always chill the graham cracker crust before adding the filling to help it hold its shape.
  • Opt for a high-quality cherry pie filling or fresh cooked cherries for the best flavor impact.
  • Allow sufficient chilling time in the refrigerator so the pie slices remain intact when served.
  • Add any garnishes such as shaved white chocolate, toasted almonds, or fresh mint leaves just before serving to keep them fresh.
