Ingredients
1 9-inch chocolate cookie crust
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
21 oz cherry pie filling
8 oz whipped topping (plus extra for garnish if desired)
2 tbsp chocolate shavings or curls (optional)
Instructions
1. If using a store-bought crust, set it aside. For homemade, crush chocolate sandwich cookies and mix with melted butter. Press into a 9-inch pie dish and chill for 20 minutes.
2. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
3. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese, then mix until fully blended and creamy.
4. Fold in the whipped topping gently using a spatula. Do not overmix to preserve the fluffy texture.
5. Spread half of the cream cheese mixture into the crust.
6. Spoon half the cherry pie filling over the cream layer.
7. Repeat the layers with remaining cream and cherries.
8. Top with additional whipped topping if desired.
9. Garnish with chocolate shavings or curls for a beautiful finish.
10. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
Notes
Let the cream cheese soften at room temperature before mixing to avoid lumps.
Use a warm knife to slice clean, even pieces.
For an extra punch of cherry flavor, mix in a few chopped maraschino cherries.
