3/4 cup butter melted
2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Cream Layer:
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
16 ounces cream cheese softened
1 cup granulated sugar divided

Cherry Topping:
3 to 4 cups cherries, pitted, can use frozen (needs to be thawed)
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

Graham Cracker Crust:
1 Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9x13 baking dish.

2 In a food processor, finely chop up 24 graham crackers.

3 In a bowl combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix all together until well combined.

4 Press into a 9x13 oven-safe dish.

5 Bake for 10 minutes until it has become a touch more golden.

6 Cool completely.

Cream Layer:
1 Beat together whipping cream, 1/2 cup sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form.

2 In a separate bowl, mix together softened cream cheese and 1/2 cup of sugar.

3 Mix together the whipped cream mixture and the cream cheese mixture.

4 Spread carefully across the cooled graham cracker crust, ensuring that all of the edges are sealed and there are no voids or holes. Chill for 1 hour minimum.

Cherry Topping:
1 In a saucepan combine cherries, sugar, water, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Mix until combined then place on stove over medium-high heat.

2 Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cook, stirring frequently, for about 10 minutes until the liquid thickens. Pour into a jar or bowl and cover and let chill.
