Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made graham cracker pie crust
- 1 (8 oz) tub of Cool Whip
- 1 (21 oz) can cherry pie filling
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: the pre-made graham cracker pie crust, Cool Whip, cherry pie filling, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the 8 oz tub of Cool Whip, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Use a spatula or a whisk to gently fold the ingredients together until they are well mixed and smooth.
- Once the Cool Whip mixture is ready, take your pre-made graham cracker pie crust and carefully spoon the mixture into it. Spread the filling evenly across the crust using the spatula, smoothing the top for an even appearance.
- Next, open the 21 oz can of cherry pie filling. Spoon the cherry filling evenly over the top of the Cool Whip layer, ensuring that it covers the entire surface for a beautiful presentation.
- After adding the cherry pie filling, you can use a spoon to gently swirl it into the Cool Whip layer if desired, creating a marbled effect.
- Once assembled, cover the pie with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the pie to set properly.
- After chilling, remove the pie from the refrigerator. Slice into 8 servings and serve chilled. Enjoy your delicious Cool Whip Cherry Pie!
Tips
- Make sure your Cool Whip is completely thawed before mixing to achieve a smooth, creamy consistency.
- For an extra flavor boost, try adding a pinch of almond extract to the Cool Whip mixture.
- If you want a more decorative look, use a piping bag to create swirls of the Cool Whip mixture in the pie crust.
- Chill the pie for at least 2 hours for the best texture and flavor melding.
- For a gourmet touch, garnish with fresh cherries or a light dusting of powdered sugar before serving.
- This pie is best consumed within 2-3 days, so store it covered in the refrigerator.
- For a fun variation, try using different pie fillings like blueberry or strawberry to switch things up!
