Ten Pound Cheesecake

The name of this wonderful little dessert may or may not give you some insight on what it may do to your waistline, should you eat the entire pan (which I came close to doing). It's good.

2 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup melted butter
3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
2 (14 ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (12 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
2 (21 ounce) cans cherry pie filling

Stir together graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press into a 9x13 inch baking dish.

Use an electric mixer to beat the cream cheese until smooth. Beat in the sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until well blended and smooth. Fold in whipped topping. Pour filling into crust and smooth the top.

Top with cherry pie filling. Refrigerate until firm, 2 to 3 hours.
