Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs* ((10 full graham cracker sheets))
1/3 cup butter (melted)
1/4 cup sugar ((I use slightly less than 1/4 cup))
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese (softened)
1 (8 ounce) container Cool Whip (thawed)
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling ((or other favorite pie filling))

Steps:

  • Combine all crust ingredients and firmly press with fingers into a 9x9-inch pan or 9-inch pie dish.
  • Using a stand or hand-held electric mixer, whip softened cream cheese until fluffy. Stir in the Cool Whip, confectioners' sugar, lemon juice and vanilla with the cream cheese until smooth.
  • Spread cream cheese mixture over graham cracker crust.
  • Pour cherry pie filling over cream cheese mixture and spread in an even layer. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or overnight. I chill mine overnight for best results. The longer this dessert is refrigerated, the better it will set up.
  • Cut into squares and serve!

CHOCOLATE-COVERED CHERRY DELIGHTS



Chocolate-Covered Cherry Delights image

While on vacation this summer, I read the book "Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder" by Joanne Fluke. The author included some very good cookie recipes throughout the book. I want to pass the book on to my swap partner in the Used Media Swap on Zaar, I am posting the recipes here so I can try them later. If you make the cookies before me, please leave a review to let us know how good they are. FYI, the author did not indicate how many cookies the recipe makes so I guessed. I will post a correction as soon as I know better. Oh, one more thing - the book was fun to read. (Author's note about this recipe: "A plate of these should be in every psychiatrist's office - - two Chocolate-Covered Cherry Delights will lift anyone out of a depression)

2 (10 ounce) jars maraschino cherries
2 cups chocolate chips (6 oz package)

  • If sauce is too thick, carefully add a little more juice. Test with a teaspoon. If it doesn't glob off, it is too thick.
