Instructions

If using a store-bought graham cracker crust, skip to step 2. For homemade, prepare the crust in a 9" pie pan.
In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whip until smooth using a hand mixer or stand mixer and set aside.
In a large bowl, whip heavy cream on low speed, gradually increasing until stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes.
Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture gently with a rubber spatula until combined.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust, smoothing the top. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
Once set, top with cherry pie filling, slice, and serve.

Notes

For a firmer cheesecake, refrigerate overnight.
Consider adding fresh cherries for a garnish before serving.
Ensure the cream cheese is well softened for smooth mixing.
