Let’s dive into the process of making this delicious No-Bake Cherry Yum Yum. Follow these easy steps to create a creamy and luscious dessert that will impress your family and friends. No baking required!
First, prepare the crust by combining crushed graham crackers with melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a baking dish to form a firm crust.
In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue to beat until well combined and creamy.
Gently fold in the whipped topping to the cream cheese mixture. The result should be a light and fluffy cream filling.
Spread a layer of the cream filling over the crust in the baking dish, ensuring an even distribution.
Spoon some of the cherry pie filling over the cream filling, spreading it out to cover the entire surface.
Repeat the process by adding another layer of the cream filling, followed by another layer of cherry pie filling. Continue layering until you have used all the cream filling and cherry pie filling.
Finish off with a final layer of whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence.
Chill the dessert in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible, to allow the layers to set and the flavors to meld together.
When ready to serve, cut into squares or scoop into bowls. Garnish with additional whipped cream and a fresh cherry, if desired.
