Ingredients
  

  • Crust:
  • 2 c. graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 c. granulated sugar
  • 1/2 c. salted butter melted
  • Cheesecake filling:
  • 1 8 oz package cream cheese, softened well
  • 1/2 c. granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp. lemon juice can use fresh or from concentrate
  • 1/2 c. milk
  • 1 tub 8 oz. whipped topping
  • 1 can 21 oz cherry pie filling (or other berry pie filling of your choice)

Instructions
 

  • To make the crust, in a medium bowl, stir together the graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 c. granulated sugar, and melted butter until all the crumbs are evenly moistened.
  • Press the mixture into a 9"x13" pan with your hands. Then, use the bottom of a flat cup to press and pack the crumbs down.
  • Place the crust in the freezer while you prepare the filling mixture.
  • For the filling mixture, in the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together softened cream cheese, 1/2 c. granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until completely smooth and no lumps remain.
  • Add milk and mix, scraping down the sides in between with a spatula, until completely smooth.
  • Fold in the whipped topping until fluffy and until you don't see any more of the whipped topping.
  • Spread the cream cheese mixture over the crust.
  • Use a large spoon to place spoonfuls of the pie filling all over the top of the cream cheese layer and then carefully spread it evenly over the top.
  • Place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 3 hours. Slice and enjoy!
