Filling
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 (8 oz) tub whipped topping
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 (21 oz) can cherry pie filling
Instructions
- Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy to ensure a lump-free base.
- Fold in Whipped Topping and Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the whipped topping until fully combined, maintaining a light texture. Stir in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the mixture.
- Assemble the Pie: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly into the prepared graham cracker crust to create a smooth layer. Then, top with the cherry pie filling, spreading it evenly over the chocolate chip layer for a vibrant finish.
- Chill and Set: Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours to allow it to set properly and for the flavors to meld together. After chilling, slice and serve chilled for best taste.
