Description

A delicious no-bake layered cherry cheesecake dessert featuring a buttery graham cracker crust, creamy cheesecake layer, and sweet cherry pie topping.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
  • 1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until well combined.
  2. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish to form the crust. Chill for 15 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
  4. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
  5. Fold in the whipped topping gently until the mixture is fluffy and smooth.
  6. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled crust.
  7. Spoon the cherry pie filling over the top and spread evenly.
  8. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until set before serving.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cream cheese for a richer texture.
  • You can substitute cherry pie filling with blueberry or strawberry if desired.
  • This dessert is best made a day ahead for maximum flavor and texture.
