No-Bake Cherry Cheesecake Dessert

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1️⃣ Make the Crust

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar.
  2. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×9-inch dish or a similar glass container.
  3. Place in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.

2️⃣ Prepare the Cream Cheese Layer

  1. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  2. In another bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form (if using whipped topping, skip this step).
  3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
  4. Spread the mixture evenly over the graham cracker crust.

3️⃣ Add the Cherry Layer

  1. Stir the lemon juice into the cherry pie filling for extra brightness.
  2. Gently spread the cherry filling over the cream cheese layer, making sure it’s even.

4️⃣ Final Touches & Chill

  1. Sprinkle extra graham cracker crumbs on top for a slight crunch.
  2. Pipe whipped cream around the edges and garnish with fresh cherries.
  3. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (overnight is best) to let the layers set.

📌 Tips & Variations:

✔️ Want it even richer? Add a thin layer of melted chocolate on top of the graham cracker crust.
✔️ Use different fruit fillings! Blueberry, strawberry, or raspberry all work beautifully.
✔️ Make it a trifle! Layer in small glasses for individual servings.

This creamy no-bake cherry cheesecake dessert is perfect for family gatherings, potlucks, or just a sweet treat at home. Enjoy! ❤️
