Cherry Cheese Cake

This recipe is from JoAnn McCarville of Palatine, who writes "I got this recipe from a friend of mine about 15 years ago, and every Christmas this is a must. This is really delicious, a family favorite."

1 Graham Cracker crust
2 packages Dream Whip
1 package (8 oz.) cream cheese

Combine Dream Whip with cream cheese mixture. Mix well. Pour mixture into Graham Cracker crust and chill for about 1 hour.

Top with cherries and chill until ready to eat.
