No-Bake Cherry Cheesecake:

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Crust:
   • In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
   • Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Use the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed glass to create an even layer. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
2. Make the Cheesecake Filling:
   • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
   • Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then beat until well combined.
   • Gently fold in the whipped topping (or homemade whipped cream) until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
3. Assemble the Cheesecake:
   • Spread the prepared cheesecake filling evenly over the chilled crust in the springform pan.
   • Smooth out the top with a spatula or the back of a spoon.

1. Chill and Set:
   • Place the cheesecake in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 4 hours or until it’s set and firm.
2. Add the Topping:
   • Once the cheesecake has chilled and set, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan.
   • Pour the cherry pie filling over the top of the cheesecake, spreading it out evenly.
3. Serve:
   • Slice the cheesecake into pieces and serve chilled. Enjoy this delightful no-bake cherry cheesecake!
