Ingredients
1 ½ c. graham cracker crumbs
6 tablespoons salted butter, melted

HOW TO MAKE NO-BAKE CHERRY YUM YUM
Step 1: Into a Ziploc bag, place about 10 graham cracker sheets and pound using a rolling pin or flat meat tenderizer (or any heavy object). Make sure to have enough crumbs (about 1 ½ cups).
Step 2: Place the melted butter and graham cracker crumbs in a medium bowl. Mix well until combined. Reserve 2 tbsp of the crumbs for the topping later. Into a 9 x 9-inch baking dish, transfer the rest of the crumbs, pushing it down to make a flat layer using your hands.
Step 3: Mix the softened cream cheese with half a cup sugar until well combined. You can make this in a stand mixer or a handheld electric mixer. Set aside.
Step 4: To make the whipped cream, place the heavy whipping cream, 3 tablespoons sugar, and vanilla extract in another bowl. Mix with a stand or electric mixer on high speed for about 1 to 2 minutes until stiff peaks form. If using a cool whip, skip this step.
Step 5: Whip the cream cheese mixture with the whipped cream using your hands until well incorporated. Over the crust, evenly spread half of this cream cheese/whipped cream mixture.
Step 6: On top of the whipped cream layer, evenly spread the cherry pie filling and top with the rest of the cream cheese/whipped cream mixture. Evenly spread, then top with the reserved graham cracker crumbs. Place in the fridge to chill for a few hours or overnight.
