Description

This Easiest No-Bake Cherry Cheesecake is a creamy, delightful dessert featuring a smooth cream cheese filling nestled in a classic graham cracker crust, topped with luscious cherry pie filling. Perfect for warm days or any time you want a fuss-free, tasty treat with minimal effort and no oven required.


Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 pre-made 9-inch graham cracker crust

Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tub (8 oz) whipped topping, thawed

Topping

  • 1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling


Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain for a silky texture.
  2. Fold in whipped topping: Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula, carefully combining until fully incorporated without deflating the whipped topping.
  3. Assemble cheesecake: Spoon the creamy filling evenly into the pre-made graham cracker crust, spreading it out with a spatula to create a smooth, uniform layer.
  4. Chill: Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours to allow it to set firmly, ensuring a perfect sliceable texture.
  5. Add cherry topping: Just before serving, spoon the cherry pie filling over the set cheesecake, gently spreading it evenly without mixing into the filling.
  6. Serve: Slice into 8 pieces and enjoy your easy, no-bake cherry cheesecake!

Notes

  • For a firmer filling, freeze the cheesecake for 30 minutes before slicing to help it hold its shape better.
  • You can swap cherry pie filling with blueberry, strawberry, or any other favorite fruit topping for variety.
  • Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing to prevent lumps and achieve a smooth filling.
  • If you prefer less sweetness, reduce the sugar to 1/4 cup.
