Easy No-Bake Cheesecake
Do you have a particular recipe that everyone seems to want once they try it? This Easy No-Bake 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!
Servings: 24 servings
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 9x13-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.
