- In a bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and spreadable.
- In a chilled glass or metal bowl, whip the heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and fully combined.
- Pour the filling into the prepared crust. Use a spatula to smooth and level the top. Refrigerate the pie for 2 to 3 hours, or until firm.
- Spread the cherry pie filling over the top of the chilled cheesecake. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to enjoy.
