No Bake Cherry Cheesecake
My family's favourite cheesecake recipe. This no bake recipe is quick and easy to make.
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cup graham crumbs
- ¼ cup butter melted
- 1 package of cream cheese softened (for some reason I have double written next to it, so my assumption is when I used to make this often I found it set up better with 2 packages of cream cheese. I used 1 for this go at it.)
- 2 packages of dream whip prepared as directed on package
- 1 can cherry pie filling
Instructions
- In a bowl mix your graham crumbs and melted butter. Stir until well blended. Press into a pie plate, spring form pan or mini dessert glasses.
- In your mixer combine the dream whip as directed on package, whip until fluffy.
- Add in your cream cheese and continue to mix until well blended.
- Pour the cream cheese mixture into the pie plate, spring form pan, or mini dessert glasses. Smooth out.
- Pour the cherry pie filling over top and smooth out.
- You can sprinkle extra graham crumbs over top for visual effect if you like. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don’t.
- Stick it in the fridge for at least 2 hours to set up.
Notes
Tips and hints:
I think I used to double the cream cheese to make it set up better. Otherwise it’s a bit too soft.
The bottom of a honey drizzler works great for pressing down graham crumbs in small cups.
If you want to be all fancy you could pipe the cream cheese into cups in designs.
You could top it with extra crumbs or shaved chocolate. White would be pretty.
Don’t eat all the cherry pie filling while making this or you won’t have enough. Cautionary tale!
