Ingredients
Scale
For the crust:
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ¼ cup sugar
For the filling:
- 16 oz (2 packages) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
For the topping:
- 1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling (or fresh cherries if preferred)
Instructions
- Make the crust: In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, using the back of a measuring cup to pack it tightly. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
- Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until combined.
- Assemble: Pour the cream cheese filling over the chilled crust and spread evenly. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set (overnight is best if you can wait!).
- Add the topping: Before serving, spread the cherry pie filling over the cheesecake.
- Serve: Slice and enjoy your delicious no-bake cherry cheesecake!

For the best flavor and texture, let the cheesecake chill overnight. Feel free to experiment with different fruit toppings!
