No Bake Cherry Cheesecke
This no bake cherry cheesecake is an easy dessert recipe that can be made using your favorite pie filling for the topping.
Servings: 20 people
Equipment
- 1 Electric hand mixer May use a stand mixer as well.
Ingredients
- 12 Graham large graham crackers Finely crushed. May also use 1.5 cups (180 g.) pre-crushed graham crackers.
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 9 tbsp butter melted
- 8 oz cream cheese softened to room temperature
- 8 oz whipped cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 can cherry pie filling
Instructions
- Use a medium-sized bowl and combine the crushed graham crackers and granulated sugar. Stir until well combined. Add the melted butter and mix together until the graham cracker crumbs are well-coated with butter and the mixture sticks together when pressed.
- Prepare a 9 x 13-inch glass baking dish with a coat of non-stick spray. Then, evenly distribute the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of the dish. Press firmly.
- Next, beat the softened cream cheese slightly before adding the powdered sugar and vanilla using an electric hand mixer or a stand mixer. Then, incorporate the vanilla extract along with the powdered sugar. Beat for one minute until the mixture is smooth and there are no lumps. Add one-half of the whipped cream and gently fold it in until smooth. Add the remaining whipped cream and fold together until it is light and airy.
- Now you will use a soup spoon and add small dollops of the cream cheese mixture to the graham cracker crust. Do this until all of the whipped mixture is used. Then, take the back of the spoon and slowly and gently spread the mixture over the crust.
- Use a tablespoon to evenly distribute the cherry pie topping on top of the cream cheese and whipped cream layer. Cover the dish with plastic wrap or use an air-tight cover. Then, chill in the refrigerator at least 2 hours before serving. Serve chilled, if possible.
