What is Cherries in the Snow?

Chocolate Cookie Pie Crust – or graham cracker

How do you make Cherries in the Snow?

It’s very simple – let’s walk through it!

GRAB your cookie crust – you can make your own but I just like the Oreo crust from the store. You can also use a graham cracker crust if you’re wanting no chocolate.
IN A MIXING BOWL, add together cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla and Cool Whip
MIX with a hand mixer
POUR into your pie crust
TOP with a can of cherry pie filling
CHILL for 4-5 hours in the refrigerator – you can also freeze it for the 30-60 minutes before you serve to get super clean slices

The thing I like is that you can change it up to what you like! I used a chocolate cookie crust – but you could use a regular graham cracker crust or even a pecan crust. I used cool whip – but you could use dream whip. I used bright cherries for filling but who says you can’t switch it up and have a different fruity flavor.

This dessert is heavenly! I enjoyed every bite of the half of the pie that I kept for sure!
