Cherries:
- 2 cups fresh or canned cherries, pitted
Cheesecake Filling:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Additional:
- 2 cups crushed graham crackers
- 1 cup whipped cream, for topping
- Prepare the Cherries: If using fresh cherries, wash, pit, and slice them in half. If using canned ones, drain them well.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue beating until well combined. Add the vanilla extract and mix again.
- Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until they are well combined. This gives us that light and airy cheesecakey goodness!
- Layer the Trifle: In a trifle dish or any large glass bowl, start layering. Begin with a layer of crushed graham crackers, followed by a layer of the cheesecake filling, and then a layer of cherries. Repeat the layers until you run out of ingredients, finishing with a layer of cheesecake filling on top.
- Top it Off: Spoon the whipped cream on the very top, and if you’re feeling fancy, add some additional cherries or a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs for decoration.
- Chill & Serve: Let the trifle chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours—this will really help all those flavors meld together. When you’re ready to serve, dig in with a big spoon!
