- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

- Soften cream cheese at room temperature for easier mixing and smoother texture.
- Use full-fat cream cheese for richer, more decadent pie filling.
- Drain excess liquid from cherry pie filling to prevent watery topping.
- For a gluten-free version, swap graham cracker crust with gluten-free cookie crust or almond flour base.
