Ingredients

  • For the Crust:
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 stick of butter 1/4 cup, melted
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • For the Creamy Center:
  • 1 14 ounce sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 8 ounces Cool Whip
  • Cherry Topping:
  • 2 20 ounce cans Cherry pie filling

Instructions

  • Combine crust ingredients until all of the crackers are moistened. Press into the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish.
  • Combine sweetened condensed milk and lemon juice with your mixer for about 1 minute. It will thicken up a little bit.
  • Fold in Cool Whip.
  • Spread the creamy filling evenly over the top of the crust.
  • Top with cherry pie filling and refrigerate for at least one hour before slicing and serving.

Notes

This can be made with low-fat or fat-free Cool Whip and works to use fat-free sweetened condensed milk, too!
