Tips for Perfect Cherry Delight Dessert
Use Fresh Cherries for a Twist: If you want to make your topping even fresher, you can use fresh cherries instead of canned pie filling. Pit and chop the cherries and simmer them with a little sugar and cornstarch to make your own homemade cherry topping.
Make Ahead: This dessert actually tastes better the longer it chills! Making it the day before serving allows the flavors to develop and ensures that the dessert is completely set when you’re ready to serve.
Substitute the Fruit: If cherries aren’t your favorite or you’re craving a different fruit, this dessert works beautifully with other fruits like strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, or peaches. Just be sure to adjust the topping to suit your fruit choice (e.g., making a strawberry or blueberry compote if using fresh berries).
Mini Cherry Delight Cups: For individual servings, spoon the crust, filling, and cherries into small dessert cups or mason jars for a fun, personal touch at your next event.
