# Instructions:

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer for 1–2 minutes until smooth and creamy.

Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is completely smooth, with no lumps remaining.

Using a spatula, gently fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until light and airy, taking care not to deflate it.

Carefully fold the crushed graham crackers into the mixture, distributing evenly. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.

In a serving dish, spread half of the cream cheese mixture to form an even layer. Spoon half of the cherry pie filling over the top. Repeat with remaining cream cheese mixture and finish with the rest of the cherry pie filling.

Refrigerate the assembled dip for at least 30 minutes to set the layers and enhance the flavour.

For best results, allow the cream cheese to come fully to room temperature before mixing to ensure a smooth texture.
