Notes

    • Use Dream Whip plus milk, or Cool Whip. Either work for this recipe.
    • 3 cups crushed graham crackers equals 2 of the packages inside the graham cracker box.
    • 42 ounces of cherry pie filling is usually 2 cans
    • 3/4 cup butter equals 1 1/2 sticks
    • I prefer whole milk or 2% milk as opposed to skim milk to mix with the package of Dream Whip.
    • Be sure your cream cheese is softened to room temperature to ensure it whips properly.
    • Let it set up in the refrigerator for several hour or overnight before serving.
    • Some people also call this dessert Cherry Delight.
