Description
An easy and delicious no-bake cherry cheesecake featuring a buttery graham cracker crust, smooth cream cheese filling, and sweet cherry topping—perfect for any occasion without turning on the oven.
Ingredients
- For the crust:
- 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons melted butter
- ¼ cup sugar
- For the filling:
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- For the topping:
- 1 can cherry pie filling
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix well.
- Press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan to form a firm crust. Chill in the refrigerator while making the filling.
- In a separate bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract and mix until creamy.
- In another bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and fluffy.
- Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the chilled crust.
- Spoon cherry pie filling over the top and spread gently to cover.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until fully set.
- Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy!
Notes
- Swap cherry topping for blueberry, strawberry, or raspberry pie filling.
- Add a layer of chocolate ganache under the fruit for a twist.
- Mix lemon zest into the filling for a brighter flavor.
- Freeze individual slices for longer storage—thaw in fridge before serving.
- Use a pie dish if a springform pan isn’t available, but slicing may be less tidy.
