Cherry Dessert

This is one I look forward to my aunt making every Christmas.  It's relatively simple to make, and always hits the spot.  I'll be serving it for Book Club tonight.... Thanks, Mary!

Graham Cracker Crust

2½ cups graham cracker crumbs (2 packages of graham crackers)
¼ lb. melted butter (1 stick)

Cherry Topping

8 oz. box Philly Cream Cheese, softened
pinch of salt
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup powdered sugar
1 pint whipping cream
2 cans cherry pie filling

1. Heat oven to 350°.  Combine graham cracker crumbs with melted butter.  Mix well and press into 9x13" baking pan.  Bake for 10 minutes and let cool.

2. Mix together cream cheese, vanilla, powdered sugar, and salt.

3. Whip whipping cream until it peeks.  Add to cream cheese mixture and blend well.

4. Spread over cooled graham cracker crust and top with cherry pie filling.

Chill before serving.
