Ingredients

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 24 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups cold heavy whipping cream
  • 21 oz cherry pie filling, divided
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips, melted (optional for drizzle)

Instructions

  • Prep the crust: In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until combined. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
  • Make the cheesecake layer: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until fully combined and creamy. In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until no streaks remain.
  • Assemble the first layer: Spread half of the cheesecake mixture evenly over the chilled crust. Spoon 1 cup of cherry pie filling over the cheesecake layer, spreading gently to cover. Repeat with remaining cheesecake mixture and another cup of cherry pie filling.
  • Add final layer and chill: Spread the remaining cherry pie filling over the top. If desired, drizzle with melted white chocolate. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set completely.
  • Serve: Slice into squares and serve chilled. Garnish with extra cherry pie filling or whipped cream if desired.

Notes

Pro Tips: Chill the cream cheese for 30 minutes before mixing to prevent lumps. Use full-fat cream cheese for the richest texture. Press the graham cracker crumbs firmly into the pan to create a sturdy base. Let the lasagna set for at least 4 hours before slicing for clean layers. Garnish with extra cherry pie filling and whipped cream just before serving.Storage: Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 5 days. Freeze individual slices for up to 1 month (thaw overnight in the refrigerator).Variations: Swap cherry pie filling for blueberry or strawberry. Add a layer of chocolate pudding between the cheesecake and crust. Use vanilla wafers instead of graham crackers for a different flavor base.
