1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups whipped topping (store-bought or homemade)

Gently fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and fluffy.
Spoon the cheesecake filling into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly.
Top with cherry pie filling or fresh cherries.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the cheesecake to set.

If using fresh cherries, remove the stems and pits before topping the cheesecake.
You can experiment with different fruit toppings like strawberries or blueberries for variety.
