Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup heavy whipping cream
• 21 oz cherry pie filling

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan lightly with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until smooth and fluffy.

Step 3

Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the mixture and blend until combined. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the crust.

Step 4

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until it turns a light golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy.

Step 6

In another small bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until evenly incorporated.

Step 7

Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crust, ensuring a smooth layer.

Step 8

Top the cream cheese layer with an even distribution of the cherry pie filling. Spread it gently to avoid mixing the layers.

Step 9

Refrigerate the assembled dessert for at least 2 hours or until set.

Step 10

Once chilled, slice into squares and serve. Enjoy your Red Cherry Dream Squares!
