Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy (about 2-3 minutes). Ensure the cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps.
Step 2: Fold in Whipped Topping
Gently fold in the whipped topping until combined. Don’t overmix!
Step 3: Add Chocolate Chips
Fold in the mini chocolate chips, reserving some for garnish.
Step 4: Assemble the Pie
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly into the graham cracker crust. Smooth the top.
Step 5: Top with Cherry Pie Filling
Spoon the cherry pie filling evenly over the cream cheese layer.
Step 6: Chill
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 7: Serve
Garnish with reserved chocolate chips (optional). Slice and serve cold!
