This cherry cheesecake pie is heaven in a pie plate! A graham cracker crust is layered with no-bake cheesecake batter and do-it-yourself cherry pie filling. YUM!

There’s nearly nothing higher than a no-bake cheesecake, and this tasty cherry pie model is unbelievable (and really easy!).

No-Bake Cheesecake Batter

This no-bake cheesecake batter is a bit completely different than the opposite beloved no-bake cheesecake recipe I’ve on my web site.

It units up a bit softer and has a barely creamier texture and taste. Each are scrumptious. And actually, both no-bake cheesecake batter will work right here.

Brian is a die-hard fan of this cheesecake batter that makes use of sweetened condensed milk. It’s just like the model he grew up consuming (nearly everybody of their household requested it for his or her birthday, and with 9 individuals of their household, that meant quite a lot of cheesecake consuming through the years!).

Enjoyable truth: the acidity within the bitter cream and lemon juice reacts with the sweetened condensed milk within the recipe to assist thicken the no-bake cheesecake batter.

Graham Cracker Crust

The straightforward no-bake cheesecake batter goes proper right into a ready graham cracker crust. I extremely suggest this good graham cracker crust recipe. It’s buttery, flippantly candy, and AMAZING.

I really like quite a lot of issues in life, and do-it-yourself graham cracker crusts are very near the highest of that checklist (which additionally contains: joggers, by no means leaving my home, and scratching piglet bellies).

The cheesecake wants to sit back within the fridge for at the very least 4 hours or as much as 24 hours. It would agency up because it chills, so don’t skip this step!

Do-it-yourself Cherry Pie Topping

I’m all about decisions. And you’ve got decisions with the cherry pie a part of this no-bake cheesecake.

1. You need to use your favourite retailer purchased cherry pie filling (we’re utilizing it as a topping on this recipe).
2. Or you can also make a easy do-it-yourself cherry pie topping.

It’s brilliantly straightforward and deliciously fresh-tasting. I exploit darkish, candy cherries, which is why it’s fairly a bit darker than the brilliant purple cherry pie filling from the shop.

To make the do-it-yourself cherry pie filling, merely simmer cherries, cornstarch, sugar, water and lemon juice till thickened. Let it cool to room temperature earlier than utilizing within the recipe.

You possibly can serve the cherry pie topping on the facet, however I prefer to unfold it on high of the set-up cheesecake and serve that method.

It’s festive and enjoyable and just a little messy. And I occur to love all of these issues.

Keep in mind that this cheesecake has a soft-set, ultra-creamy consistency, so the slices will not be image good, however that’s okay! That’s the way it’s alleged to be.

Tremendous comfortable. Tremendous creamy. Tremendous tasty.

Cherry cheesecake pie is a stupendous factor with all of its laid again vibes and over-the-top scrumptious layers.

Even higher, it may be made a day forward of time. (And even longer than that when you wait to assemble all of the elements till nearer to serving time.)

Should you love comfortable, creamy cheesecake and buttery, candy graham crackers and shiny, juicy cherries, this dessert goes to be a dream come true.
