Start by placing the graham cracker pie crust in a pie dish. Press it down gently to form an even crust layer.

In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until fluffy using an electric mixer on medium speed. Add the softened butter, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Beat until well combined.

Pour in the sweetened condensed milk, ensuring a smooth and creamy consistency in the filling mixture.

Step 4 Incorporate Bloomed Gelatin (if adding):

If using bloomed gelatin for added texture, microwave it for 5 seconds to loosen, then gently fold it into the filling mixture.

Pour the prepared filling into the graham cracker pie crust, ensuring an even distribution.

Cover the pie and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 3 hours or until the filling is set.

Once set, remove the pie from the refrigerator. Using a slotted spoon, remove cherries from the pie filling can and spoon them onto the top of the pie.

For an extra touch of indulgence, garnish your dream pie with thawed frozen whipped topping. Spread it evenly over the pie.

Your delightful Dream Pie is now ready to be enjoyed! Slice it up and savor the creamy, zesty goodness in every bite. Perfect for any occasion!
