Description
A delightful no-bake dessert featuring layers of creamy cheesecake and cherry pie filling, perfect for summer gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz Cream Cheese, room temperature
- 1/2 cup Sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 2 cups Whipped Cream
- 1 can Cherry Pie Filling
- 1 package Buttery Cookies or Graham Crackers
Instructions
- Begin by placing the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl. Beat the mixture with an electric mixer on medium speed until it’s smooth and creamy, with no lumps remaining.
- Gently fold in the whipped cream using a spatula to maintain the airy texture of the mixture.
- In your baking dish, layer the cookies or graham crackers to create the first layer.
- Spread a generous layer of the cheesecake mixture over the cookies, smoothing it out to cover the base evenly.
- Next, spoon a layer of cherry pie filling over the cheesecake layer.
- Repeat the layering process—cookies, cheesecake mixture, and cherry topping—until you use up your ingredients.
- Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least four hours or overnight.
- Once set, serve chilled and slice into squares.
Notes
For best results, chill mixing equipment before use and allow the cake to set overnight. Customize with different fruits or cookies as desired.
