Method
 

Making Cherry Delight
  1. In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until well blended. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a pie dish and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set.
  2. Using an electric mixer, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add in the powdered sugar, mixing well until fully combined and silky.
  3. Gently incorporate the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture, folding it in carefully to preserve the airy texture.
  4. Fold in the pitted cherries to ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  5. Spoon the cherry mixture onto the chilled crust. Use a spatula to smooth the top for an even finish.
  6. Refrigerate the assembled Cherry Delight for at least four hours or, for best results, overnight.
