Creating Classic Cherry Delight can be a rewarding and enjoyable process. Follow these easy steps:

1. Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined.
2. Form the Crust: Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of an 8-inch square baking dish. Set aside.
3. Mix the Cream Layer: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.

5. Spread the Cream Layer: Pour the cream mixture over the crust, spreading it evenly.
6. Add Cherry Filling: Spoon the cherry pie filling generously over the cream layer. Ensure it covers the entire surface.
7. Optional Nuts: If desired, sprinkle the chopped nuts over the cherry filling for an added crunch.
8. Chill: Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, allowing the dessert to set properly.
9. Serve: Once chilled, cut into squares and garnish with fresh cherries if desired.
