This No Bake Cherry Cheesecake is a creamy and luscious dessert featuring a buttery graham cracker crust, smooth cream cheese filling mixed with Cool Whip, and topped with sweet cherry pie filling. Perfect for a quick and delicious treat without the need for an oven.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 9 graham cracker sheets, crushed
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon sugar

Filling

  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 8 ounces Cool Whip
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Topping

  • 21 ounces cherry pie filling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Graham Cracker Crust: In a bowl, combine the crushed graham cracker sheets, melted butter, and sugar until evenly mixed. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan to form an even crust layer.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add Cool Whip, powdered sugar, and lemon juice to the cream cheese and mix thoroughly until the filling is smooth and well combined.
  3. Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared graham cracker crust. Use a spatula to smooth out the top evenly. Place the cheesecake in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours to allow it to set firmly.
  4. Add the Topping: After the cheesecake has set, spread the cherry pie filling evenly over the top. Return the cheesecake to the refrigerator and chill for an additional hour before serving to let the topping set properly.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened at room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother filling.
  • Press the crust mixture firmly to avoid crumbling when slicing the cheesecake.
  • For best results, chill the cheesecake overnight instead of just 4 hours.
  • This cheesecake is best served chilled and consumed within 2-3 days for optimal freshness.
  • You can substitute cherry pie filling with other fruit pie fillings like blueberry or strawberry for variety.
