### 👩‍🍳 Instructions

#### 1. **Make the crust**

Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a bowl. Press mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie pan, covering the bottom and sides evenly. Chill in the fridge for at least 20 minutes to set.

#### 2. **Prepare the cream filling**

In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and beat until fully combined. Gently fold in the whipped topping until light and fluffy.

#### 3. **Assemble the pie**

Spread the cream filling evenly into the chilled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.

#### 4. **Add the cherry topping**

Spoon the cherry pie filling over the cream layer. Spread gently to cover the surface.

#### 5. **Chill and serve**

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) before serving to allow the pie to set. Garnish with fresh cherries or chocolate curls if desired.
