Instructions

Pulse graham crackers in a food processor until they are fine crumbs.
In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and sugar.
Line an 8×8 pan with parchment paper. Evenly press the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of the pan and chill in the refrigerator.
In a large bowl, blend the softened cream cheese, Cool Whip, powdered sugar, and lemon juice until smooth.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled graham cracker crust.
Chill for about 5 minutes to set.
Spoon cherry pie filling over the cream cheese layer and gently spread the cherries to cover the entire surface.

Ensure the cream cheese is well softened for a smooth mixture.
