This No Bake Cherry Cheesecake is sweet, tart, and honestly a little bit extra. With just 5 minutes of prep, she’s glossy, glam, and red carpet ready! Your fridge does all the work, you take all the credit. Now that’s teamwork!
It’s pretty much impossible to resist this dazzling cheesecake with a stunning pile of cherries on top.
The crimson glaze says “look at me.” And honey, you will!
“I’ve made this recipe several times and everyone loves it! Thanks!”
Of course, with such irresistible creamy, sweet flavors, this vintage beauty queen always gets rave reviews.
Plus, with just 7 ingredients and 5 minutes of prep, you really don’t need to be told it’s crazy-easy. It’s beyond obvious!
But then we’ll make things even easier, by using two genius shortcuts: a can of cherry pie filling and a pre-made graham cracker crust. These are the same easy shortcuts I use to make my Easy No Bake Blackberry Cheesecake, berry-sweet No Bake Blueberry Cheesecake, and luscious No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake Recipe.
So go ahead and satisfy your dessert cravings with gusto and as little effort as possible.
And don’t forget about the oven… or better yet… do forget about the oven!
When you make a date with this charming cherry cream cheese pie, no oven will ever be required…
