Description

Delight in these No-Bake Cherry Cheesecake Bars, a creamy and fruity dessert featuring a buttery graham cracker crust topped with a smooth cream cheese filling and a vibrant cherry pie topping. Perfect for warm weather or anytime you want an easy, no-bake treat that satisfies your sweet tooth.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Filling

  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold

Topping

  • 1 (21-ounce) can cherry pie filling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix thoroughly until the crumbs are evenly coated and hold together when pressed. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of an 8×8-inch or 9×9-inch baking dish to form the crust. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy without lumps. In a separate chilled bowl, whip the cold heavy cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, combining fully and keeping the mixture light and fluffy.
  3. Assemble the Bars: Spread the creamy cheesecake filling evenly over the chilled graham cracker crust. Carefully spoon and spread the cherry pie filling over the surface, covering it uniformly without mixing the layers.
  4. Chill to Set: Refrigerate the assembled bars for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow the filling to set properly and flavors to meld.
  5. Serve: Once set, slice into 9 bars and serve chilled for the best texture and taste.

Notes

  • For a firmer crust, you can bake the crust at 350°F (175°C) for 8 minutes before cooling and adding the filling.
  • Feel free to swap the cherry pie filling with blueberry or strawberry pie filling for variety.
