No-Bake Cherry Cheesecake Ingredients:
Graham Cracker Crust
| Ingredient | Amount |

| Graham cracker crumbs | 1 ¼ cups |
| Unsalted butter, melted | ¼ cup |
| White sugar | ¼ cup |
Filling
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Softened cream cheese | 1 (8 oz) package |
| Powdered sugar | 1 cup |
| Vanilla extract | 1 teaspoon |
| Heavy whipping cream | 1 cup |
| Cherry pie filling (or another topping of choice) | 1 (12.5 oz) can |
Instructions:
Step 1: Make the Crust
In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until crumbly. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate.
Step 2: Prepare the Filling
In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until smooth and spreadable. In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
Step 3: Assemble and Chill
Spread the filling evenly into the prepared crust. Refrigerate for 2–3 hours, or until the filling is firm.
Step 4: Add Topping and Serve
Once set, spoon the cherry pie filling evenly over the top. Serve immediately or keep chilled until ready to enjoy.
