Ingredients

Crust

  • 9 graham cracker sheets (one sleeve)
  • ½ 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 crust: Place graham crackers in the food processor and pulse them into fine crumbs. In a medium bowl, combine these crumbs with the melted butter and sugar until well mixed. Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper and evenly press the crumb mixture into the bottom. Chill in the refrigerator to set the crust.
  2. Make the cream cheese layer: In a large bowl, blend the softened cream cheese, Cool Whip, powdered sugar, and lemon juice until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Spread this mixture evenly over the chilled graham cracker crust.
  3. Chill briefly: Refrigerate the layered crust and cream cheese mixture for about 5 minutes to help it firm up slightly.
  4. Add the cherry topping: Spoon the cherry pie filling over the cream cheese layer, gently spreading the cherries to cover the entire surface evenly.
  5. Final chilling: Return the cheesecake to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours to allow all layers to set and flavors to meld perfectly.
  6. Serve: Once fully chilled, slice the cheesecake into servings and enjoy this luscious, no-bake dessert.

Notes

  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
  • Chilling times are essential for the cheesecake to set properly.
  • You can substitute cherry pie filling with other fruit pie fillings like blueberry or strawberry for variety.
  • Use parchment paper for easy removal from the pan.
  • For a gluten-free option, substitute graham crackers with gluten-free crackers or cookies.
