Instructions
- Crush graham crackers into fine crumbs and combine with melted butter and sugar, creating a cohesive base mixture.
- Firmly press the graham cracker blend into the bottom of a 9×13 inch pan, ensuring an even, compact crust layer.
- Whip cream cheese and powdered sugar together until achieving a silky, lump-free consistency.
- Gently incorporate whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture, maintaining a light, airy texture.
- Carefully spread the cream cheese blend over the prepared graham cracker foundation, creating a smooth, even surface.
- Delicately distribute cherry pie filling across the cream cheese layer, allowing it to cover the entire surface.
- Generously scatter chopped nuts and chocolate chips over the cherry layer, ensuring an even distribution.
- Chill the dessert in the refrigerator for a minimum of 2 hours to allow flavors to meld and set properly.
- Remove from refrigerator, slice into squares, and serve cold for optimal taste and texture.
Notes
- Select graham crackers with a consistent texture to ensure an even, sturdy base for the cake.
- Use room temperature cream cheese to achieve a smoother, lump-free filling that blends perfectly.
