- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream

Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until evenly combined.
Step 2
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
Step 4
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese and continue mixing until well incorporated and smooth.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until no streaks remain.
Step 6
Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Step 7
Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4-6 hours or overnight to allow it to firm up.
Step 8
Once set, spread the cherry pie filling over the top of the cheesecake just before serving.
Step 9
Slice and serve chilled. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
