Instructions
Creating No-Bake Cherry Cheesecake is straightforward. Just follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until well combined.
2. Form the Crust: Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Use the back of a measuring cup to pack it tightly.
3. Make the Cheesecake Filling:
– In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
– Gradually add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
4. Whip the Cream: In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
6. Fill the Crust: Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
7. Chill: Cover the cheesecake and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
8. Add Cherry Topping: Once set, spread the cherry pie filling evenly over the top of the cheesecake.
9. Serve: Carefully release the sides of the springform pan and slice the cheesecake into wedges.
