Cherry cherry Yum Yum


This is another recipe from Mom's stuff. I used a pie tin and it fit well.

Crumb Mixture


Mix 3 c graham cracker crumbs (this is about 8 or 9 oz of crumbs) with 1 1/2 sticks of melted butter.

Cheese MixtureCombine an 8-oz package of cream cheese (soften the cream cheese before this or it will be too stiff to spread -- I ended up using a mixer so there wouldn't be any lumps) with an 8-oz tub of Cool Whip.

Layer 1: Spread half the crumb mixture on the bottom of a pan.
Layer 2: Spread half the cheese mixture on Layer 1.
Layer 3: Spread 1 can cherry pie filling on top of Layer 2.
Layer 4: Spread the second half of the cheese mixture on Layer 3.
Layer 5: Spread the second half of the crumb mixture on Layer 4.

  1. Thank you very much for posting this! I remember this recipe with great fondness. Alas, my sweetheart does not like cherries... but our children do! I'll have to try it for them sometime.
