No Bake Cherry Cheesecake!! Cheesecake layered on graham cracker crumbs and topped with cherry pie filling! Soo simple, no bake, personal sized perfect for the holiday party and above all it’s too delicious and too adorable!
Guys! This is my final post for the Christmas! Just loved both making and photographing these! Too cute aren’t they? This recipe is just very simple Guys! It’s the perfect dessert for the holiday party especially if you are running out of time cause it’s that simple and they look soo pretty on the dessert table!
It has three layers. The first one is you just powder the graham crackers and spoon it at the bottom. The second layer which goes over it is the cheesecake made up of just two ingredients cream cheese and condensed milk. Beat them both in the stand mixer until light and fluffy and you are done! The third layer is the cherry pie filling. Simmer frozen or fresh cherries with honey, cornstarch, lime juice and almond extract and butter until bubbly and cook till it thickens up! Cool and use! This takes just ten mins. Then layer, refrigerate and serve! So simple and easy! A quick hack – if you are in a real hurry just use tinned cherry pie filling! Saves a lot more time!
Wishing everyone merry Christmas and happy holidays! Stay happy and stay blessed!
