Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (150g)
- 1/4 cup melted butter (60g)
- 3 cups cream cheese, softened (675g)
- 1 cup powdered sugar (120g)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5g)
- 1 cup heavy cream (240ml)
- 1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling (595g)
Instructions
- Combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a bowl. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create the crust. Refrigerate for 10 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Add vanilla extract and mix.
- In another bowl, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
- Spread the cheesecake filling over the crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
- Once chilled, top the cheesecake with the cherry pie filling and refrigerate for an additional 30 minutes.
- Slice and serve your no bake cherry cheesecake with a garnish of extra cherries if desired.
Notes
For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free graham cracker crumbs. Feel free to swap the cherry topping for other fruits like blueberries or strawberries for variety. For a richer flavor, you can add almond extract instead of vanilla.
