Do you have a particular recipe that everyone seems to want once they try it? This cheesecake is one of those recipes for me. I can’t count the number of times I have given this particular recipe out – even my own gramma wanted it!
Although I love the traditional recipe, sometimes I love the no-bake version even more. 🙂 I love that it’s quick and easy. Sure, it’s not the same as traditional, but it is good none-the-less! Personally, I like a good crumb to cheesecake ratio – but if you prefer less, feel free to adjust it to your preference. You can also easily halve the “cheesecake” portion of this recipe and use a pre-made graham cracker crust to make the even faster or to feed a smaller crowd. This cheesecake recipe is flexible.

Ingredients
For the crust
- 3 cups finely ground graham crackers, about 24 crackers
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup butter, melted, 1 1/2 sticks
For the cheesecake
- 2 packages cream cheese, softened, 8 oz. each
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tub frozen whipped topping, thawed, 16 oz.
Topping
- 1 – 2 cans cherry pie filling – or the flavor of your choice (optional), 20-21 oz. each
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the graham crackers, sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture into a 9×13-inch baking dish. Chill the crust while preparing the cheesecake layer.
- Beat cream cheese and sugar in a large bowl until smooth. Gently stir in the whipped topping. Spread over the prepared crust.
- Refrigerate for 4 hours or until set.
- When ready to serve, spoon the pie filling evenly over the top of the cheesecake or spoon it over individual portions. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
Notes
- While it does cost more, it’s also really convenient to buy a box of graham cracker crumbs! Otherwise, smash the crackers in a bag or the food processor.
