Creating Cherry Delight is straightforward once you follow these easy steps:

1. Prepare the Crust: In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until evenly blended.
2. Press the Crust: Press the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate or baking dish. Make sure it’s packed tightly.
3. Chill the Crust: Place the crust in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the filling.
4. Blend the Cream Cheese: In a mixing bowl, blend the softened cream cheese with sugar until smooth and creamy.
5. Add Vanilla and Lemon Juice: Mix in the vanilla extract and lemon juice to the cream cheese mixture until well incorporated.
6. Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks.
7. Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
8. Add Cherries: Fold in the halved cherries into the cream cheese mixture. Reserve a few cherries for garnish.
9. Fill the Crust: Pour the cherry and cream mixture into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly.
10. Chill Again: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow it to set.
11. Serve: Once chilled, garnish with reserved cherries on top.

By following these steps, you will create a stunning Cherry Delight that looks just as good as it tastes.
