Creating Classic Cherry Delight is simple if you follow these easy steps:

1. Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine crushed graham crackers and melted butter. Mix well until evenly coated.
2. Press the Crust: Firmly press the mixture into the bottom of a 9×9-inch baking dish to form the crust.
3. Make the Cream Layer: In another bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Fold in the Topping: Gently fold in the whipped topping, mixing until well combined.
5. Spread the Cream Layer: Evenly spread the cream cheese mixture over the graham cracker crust.
6. Add Cherry Filling: Spoon the cherry pie filling over the cream layer, spreading it carefully for an even look.
7. Chill the Dessert: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30-40 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
8. Slice and Serve: Once chilled, cut into squares and serve. Garnish with additional whipped topping if desired.

These straightforward steps guide you in making a dessert that is not only delightful but also incredibly satisfying.
