Ingredients:

• For the Crust:
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• For the Cheesecake Layer:
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 oz Cool Whip, thawed
• For the Cherry cheesecake Layer:
  • 1/2 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling
  • 2 cups cool whip
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Crust:
   • In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter until the mixture is well combined and resembles wet sand.
   • Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×9-inch baking dish to form an even crust. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the other layers.
2. Make the Cheesecake Layer:
   • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
   • If using heavy whipping cream, whip it in a separate bowl until stiff peaks form. If using Cool Whip, skip this step.
   • Gently fold the whipped cream or Cool Whip into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
   • Spread the cheesecake layer evenly over the chilled graham cracker crust.
3. Add the Cherry Layer:
   • Mix 1/2 the can of cherry pir filling together with 2 cups cool whip and spoon on top of the cheesecake layer. Place in the freezer for 30 minutes then top with the remaining cherry pie filling.
4. Chill:
   • Cover the dish and refrigerate the dessert for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the layers to set and the flavors to meld together.
5. Serve:
   • Once fully chilled, cut the Cherry Cheesecake Lush into squares and serve. Enjoy this delightful, layered dessert!
