Making this dessert is just as easy as shopping for the ingredients. You’ll be in and out of the kitchen in just about 30 minutes. After that, it’s just a matter of letting your dessert chill before serving it!
Step 1: Prep
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and lightly spray a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.

Combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a medium bowl. Then, press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, reserving ½ cup of the mixture for topping.

Step 6: Chill
Cover the dish with foil or plastic wrap and chill for 4 hours or overnight.
Recipe Tips
- Press your graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of the baking dish before baking. This ensures it melds together while baking to create a solid crust that won’t fall apart when you cut up your dessert.
- Fully soften your cream cheese to make the cream cheese filling to avoid any little bits of raw cream cheese in the mixture.
- Use a light touch when spreading your pie filling over the cream cheese mixture to ensure two nicely delineated layers.
- 4 hours is the minimum chill time for this dessert but overnight is better.
Variations
- You can use a pretzel crust instead of graham crackers for a sweet and salty dessert.
