OPAL'S CHERRY DELIGHT RECIPE



OPAL'S CHERRY DELIGHT Recipe image

Provided by babygirl36

Number Of Ingredients 7

40 graham crackers, finely crushed
1 cup confectioners sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted
16 oz. cream cheese, softened
16 oz. cool whip
2 cup confectioners sugar
2 (12 oz) cherry pie filling

Steps:

  • Mix graham cracker crumbs, 1 cup confectioners sugar and butter together in a bowl; press into a 9x13 pan. Whisk cream cheese, cool whip and 2 cups confectioners sugar together in a bowl until smooth; spread over graham cracker crust. Pour cherry pie filling over cream cheese layer. Refrigerate until firm, at least an hour.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cherries. Fresh cherries have the best flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh cherries, you can use frozen or canned cherries, but they won't be as good.
  • Pit the cherries before using them. You can use a cherry pitter or a paring knife to pit the cherries. Be careful not to cut yourself.
  • Use a good quality vanilla extract. Vanilla extract is a key ingredient in this recipe, so it's important to use a good quality extract. Look for an extract that is made with real vanilla beans.
  • Don't overcook the cherry filling. The cherry filling should be cooked until it is thickened and bubbly, but not so long that it becomes thick and syrupy.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the crust to firm up.

Conclusion:

Opal's Cherry Delight is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The cherry filling is sweet and tart, and the cream cheese topping is rich and creamy. The combination of flavors and textures is simply irresistible. If you're looking for a dessert that will impress your friends and family, Opal's Cherry Delight is the perfect choice.
