Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Prepare the Graham Cracker Crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, sugar, and salt. Mix well until evenly moistened. (5 minutes)
02
Step
5 mins
Divide and Press: Distribute the graham cracker mixture evenly among 8 individual dessert dishes or glasses (about 2 tablespoons per dish). Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of each dish to create a compact crust. (5 minutes)
03
Step
3 mins
Make the Cream Cheese Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. (3 minutes)
04
Step
2 mins
Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk to the cream cheese, beating until well combined and smooth. (2 minutes)
05
Step
1 mins
Add Flavor: Beat in the lemon juice and vanilla extract until fully incorporated. The mixture should be smooth and slightly thickened. (1 minute)
06
Step
5 mins
Assemble the Desserts: Spoon approximately 1/4 cup of the cream cheese mixture over the graham cracker crust in each dish. (5 minutes)
07
Step
5 mins
Top with Cherry Pie Filling: Top each dessert with about 1/4 cup of cherry pie filling, spreading it evenly over the cream cheese layer. (5 minutes)
08
Step
30 mins
Chill and Serve: Serve immediately for a softer dessert, or chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the filling to set slightly. (30 minutes)
For a richer flavor, use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar in the graham cracker crust.
If you don't have individual dessert dishes, you can make this in an 8x8 inch square baking dish. Simply press the crust into the bottom of the dish and spread the cream cheese filling and cherry pie filling evenly over the crust.
Feel free to experiment with other pie fillings, such as blueberry or strawberry, to create different flavor combinations.
