No-Bake Cherry Cheesecake

Ingredients:

For the Crust:

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs

1/3 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Filling:

2 (8 oz) 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

Instructions:

Prepare the Crust:

In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and sugar. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture is well combined and resembles wet sand.

Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish or springform pan to form the crust. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.

Make the Filling:

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until well combined.

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.

Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined and smooth.

Assemble the Cheesecake:

Spoon the cream cheese filling into the prepared crust and smooth the top with a spatula.

Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow it to set.

Add the Cherry Topping:

Once the cheesecake has set, spread the cherry pie filling evenly over the top of the cheesecake.

Serve:

Slice and serve the cheesecake chilled. Enjoy!
