Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Combine graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar in a mixing bowl. Melt unsalted butter and pour it into the bowl, stirring until fully blended. Transfer to a greased 9x13-inch pan, pressing it down firmly for a compact crust.
  2. Chill the crust for at least 10 minutes in the freezer or bake at 350°F for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden. If baked, let it cool completely.
  3. Beat room temperature cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and optional lemon juice, mixing until fully combined and creamy.
  4. Gently fold in thawed whipped topping until smooth and airy, making sure no streaks remain.
  5. Spread the creamy filling evenly over the cooled crust using a spatula, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set.
  6. Slice the Cherry Delight into squares or rectangles and top with cherry pie filling before serving. Serve chilled.
