This easy no-bake cherry cheesecake is the kind of dessert that makes you look like a kitchen superstar with minimal effort. A smooth, velvety cheesecake filling sits on a buttery graham cracker crust, topped with a luscious cherry pie filling for the perfect sweet-tart finish. With simple ingredients and no oven required, it’s a fuss-free treat that comes together in minutes and disappears even faster.
No Bake Cherry Cheesecake Ingredients
Ingredients Overview
- Graham Crackers and Butter are the dynamic duo for a sturdy, no-fail crust. The graham crackers bring that sweet, slightly nutty crunch, while the butter glues it all together. Sugar adds just the right amount of sweetness and helps bind everything, ensuring your crust holds firm.
- Cream Cheese and Cool Whip create a luscious filling. The cream cheese delivers a rich, tangy base, while Cool Whip fluffs things up to give you that dreamy, light cheesecake texture.
- Powdered Sugar – it adds sweetness without any grittiness, melting right into the filling for a silky-smooth finish.
- Lemon Juice is a secret weapon for balancing rich flavors, cutting through the heaviness with a touch of brightness
- Cherry Pie Filling finishes things off with that classic, ruby-red flourish.
OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS
If you’re looking to feed a crowd, this is an easy recipe to make and double. Simply double the ingredients and use a 9 x 13-inch pan. Be sure to line the pan with parchment paper for less mess when removing the bars.
Substitutions And Additions
FILLING: This is a super versatile recipe. Swap out the can of cherry pie filling for your favorite pie filling — blueberry, peach, etc. — to change the flavor of this cheesecake.
WHIPPED TOPPING: You can either use a whipped topping such as Cool Whip or make your own homemade fresh whipped cream using our recipe found here.
CREAM CHEESE: Stick to full-fat cream cheese for a firmer texture. Using low-fat or reduced-fat cream cheese can lead to a softer cheesecake that doesn’t set well.
How To Make A Cherry Cheesecake
Making A Graham Cracker Crust
Here’s how to make a really good graham cracker crust – buttery, firm, and never falling apart on you.
- Start by crushing the graham crackers into fine, even crumbs. A food processor makes quick work of this, but no food processor? No worries. Just pop the crackers in a ziplock bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
- Once you have your crumbs, mix them with melted butter The trick here? Make sure the butter is evenly mixed in, so the crust holds together well when pressed. And here’s the important bit: don’t go overboard with the butter! Too much, and you’ll get a greasy, crumbly mess.
- Transfer the mixture to your pan and grab a measuring cup or glass. Use the bottom of a measuring cup or a glass to firmly and evenly press the crumbs into the bottom and up the sides of the pan. Applying firm pressure is key – this helps create a crust that won’t fall apart when you slice into it later.
Troubleshooting Your Graham Cracker Crust
The crust is falling apart
This usually means there’s not enough butter to bind the crumbs together or they weren’t packed down firmly enough. Double-check that you’ve used the right amount of melted butter and press that mixture down firmly with the bottom of a measuring cup or glass. Light but firm pressure is the goal.
The crust is too greasy
You’ve probably added too much butter. Next time, stick to the recipe measurements and mix the butter in slowly – you want the crumbs just moist enough to hold together, not swimming in butter.
The crust is sticking to the pan
Grease your pan lightly or line it with parchment paper before pressing in the crust.
Tried and True No Bake Cheesecake
For A Silky Cheesecake
- Let the cream cheese soften at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. If you’re in a hurry, cut the cream cheese into cubes and place it on a plate for about 20 minutes.
- Whip that cream cheese until it’s completely lump-free before adding anything else. No shortcuts here. Smooth cream cheese = smooth cheesecake.
- When you add whipped cream to the cream cheese mixture, fold it in gently. No heavy stirring – you want to keep that airy, cloud-like texture.
Don’t Change or Skip Ingredients
- Forget granulated sugar; it won’t dissolve properly! Powdered sugar blends like a dream, giving you a perfectly smooth filling. No grit, no fuss.
- Don’t skip the lemon juice – it’s the sneaky little secret that brightens up the richness and helps set the filling.
Cherry Topping Tips
- Chill the cheesecake before adding the cherry topping. This way, the filling is firm enough to handle the weight of the cherries
- Resist the urge to dump the whole can of pie filling on top. Instead, use a spoon to gently place the cherries in the center and then spread them outward. This gives you more control and helps avoid overflow.
- Once the cherries are on top, spread them gently. No smashing or squishing. Let the cherries keep their plump, glossy look – that’s what makes the topping so irresistible.
How To Serve
While the traditional way is simply to enjoy it as is, you can add a dollop of whipped cream on the side, a sprinkle of grated chocolate, or a fresh mint leaf for a pop of color. But really, the classic combo of cheesecake and cherries needs nothing more.
Please note:
- Cheesecake likes to stay cold! Keep it out at room temperature for no more than 30 minutes before serving to maintain its structure and texture.
- Use a sharp knife to cut clean slices. For the neatest cuts, wipe the knife with a damp cloth between slices – this keeps the layers looking sharp and defined. If you’re having trouble, try coating your knife in nonstick cooking spray.
Hot Drinks That Go Well With Cherry Cheesecake
The creamy richness of the cheesecake, the sweet tang of those cherries, and the warmth of a hot drink? It’s pure bliss. Here are some hot drink recipes that will take your cheesecake experience to the next level:
Old Fashioned Hot Toddy – This classic warm cocktail combines hot water, honey, lemon, and whiskey. The citrus notes and subtle sweetness pair beautifully with the tangy cheesecake.
Fireball Hot Chocolate – It’s a festive drink blending vanilla ice cream, Bailey’s Irish cream liqueur, Fireball cinnamon whisky, and hot cocoa. The cinnamon and cream liqueur notes add warmth and spice that pair well with the cheesecake.
Whipped Hot Chocolate – A decadent and creamy beverage made by topping warm milk with a whipped, sweet chocolate-flavored cream. This rich drink enhances the dessert experience when enjoyed alongside the cheesecake.
Cold Drinks That Go Well
There’s something about pairing a slice of no-bake cherry cheesecake with a refreshing cold drink that hits just right. Here are some cold drink recipes that make every bite even more unforgettable:
Caramel Iced Coffee – A delightful blend of cold brew coffee, salted caramel syrup, and milk, this iced coffee provides a caffeinated kick with a sweet caramel finish that enhances the dessert experience.
Iced Mocha – Combining the bold flavors of coffee and chocolate, iced mocha pairs wonderfully with the cherry-infused cheesecake.
Strawberry Lemonade – A zesty blend of fresh strawberries and tangy lemonade, this drink offers a balance of sweetness and tartness.

Storing A No Bake Cherry Cheesecake
Short Term Storage
This no bake cheesecake keeps fresh in the fridge for up to four days. Just cover tightly with plastic wrap or foil. For extra protection, place it in an airtight container – this shields it from fridge odors and keeps the filling from drying out. It also helps protect that gorgeous cherry topping from getting smudged.
If you’re planning to keep the cheesecake for a few days, consider storing the cherry topping separately and spooning it on right before serving. This way, the crust stays firm, and you get all the beauty and flavor of the fresh topping.
Longer Term Storage
Freezing is a great option if you’re thinking of making your cheesecake ahead of time or saving leftovers for later.
Option 1 – Freezing the Entire Cheesecake: Leave off the cherry topping, and wrap the cheesecake tightly in plastic wrap, followed by a layer of foil. It’ll stay good in the freezer for up to two months. When ready to serve, thaw it in the fridge overnight, then add the topping.
Option 2 – Freezing Slices: If you like having dessert on standby, slice the cheesecake before freezing and wrap each piece individually. It’s perfect for those late-night cravings or surprise guests. When you’re ready to enjoy it, let it thaw overnight in the fridge.
Why Make Our No Bake Recipe
- Our no-bake cherry cheesecake recipe offers a delightful balance of creamy richness and sweet cherry topping. Unlike some recipes that use sweetened condensed milk — which can make the filling dense and overly sweet — this version combines cream cheese, Cool Whip, powdered sugar, and lemon juice to achieve a perfectly balanced flavor.
- By omitting sweetened condensed milk, this recipe achieves a lighter texture and a more balanced sweetness. This allows the flavors of the cream cheese and cherries to shine through. It’s an excellent choice for those seeking a classic, no-bake cheesecake that’s easy to prepare and sure to impress.

Mary Jane Boyles says
Can this be made with sugar substitute instead of powder sugar?
Layne Kangas says
I have not tried it that way, so I don’t know if it will change the texture/consistency at all! I would assume if the substitute is supposed to be just like regular sugar, you should be fine.
Tammy Dobbelaar says
I have used Splenda before and it works great. Don’t use a whole cup though it would be too sweet. Maybe half. I don’t usually measure
Randie Blauth says
I have redi whip cream instead of cool whip. Will that work ?
Layne Kangas says
I think it will change the consistency of your finished dish because Redi Whip mixes differently instead of Cool Whip.
Mary says
Can you use fat free cream cheese
Layne Kangas says
Yes! Enjoy 🙂
Debbie says
Hi! I would like to make this today. I bought gram crackers crumbs. How many cups is one sleeve of crushed gram crackers? Thank you!!
Layne Kangas says
Oh boy, I haven’t made it like that before, but I think it would be about 1 to 1.5 cups!
Sandi H says
I accidently bought cool whip lite can it be used in place of regular?
Layne Kangas says
Yes, you can! Enjoy!
Nancy says
Can you used a already made pre package gramcracker round pie shell you buy already made instead of making a gram cracker base 8 x 8 square ??
Layne Kangas says
You can buy graham crack crumbs in a box in the baking aisle – I would suggest using those for this recipe to make it easier!
Meagen says
I seen your comment about buying the already crushed graham crackers but can you use a Graham cracker crust that’s already made at the store for this recipe?
Layne Kangas says
Hi, Meagen – we make this in a square dish and the crust at the store will be round. We haven’t tested this recipe using the pre-made round crust so I’m not sure if any adjustments would need to be made.
Gloria says
So delicious!!!!!

I have always loved cheesecake. I actually have tried it with a almond crust before. But only because my husband is a diabetic. It doesn’t change the flavor any. But when it comes to toppings, I have 3 favorites. 1- original New York style, 2- raspberry flavored topping or 3- strawberry flavored topping. I never put whipped cream on it. I feel it hides the flavor.

I like to use a ground chocolate cookie crumb for the bottom base of a Cheesecake. Canned cherry filling or strawberry filling is used for my topping to make a knock off of a black forest cheese cake. No other toppings or whipped cream. No Bake is the way to go, it’s quick, simple and ready in no time. And, there is no left overs when this is served to my friends.
Lora Cotton says

Cathy Pahnke says
I like a graham cracker crust. I prefer to eat the no- bake style cheesecake because it is lighter. Traditional cheesecake is heavy and harder to bake. I would not use pie filling on top of any cheesecake because all you taste in the end is the pie filling. I would rather use chocolate or caramel drizzle on top of a whipped final layer.

I made this for Thanksgiving dinner this weekend. I thought the middle layer was too thick and might have made it in a 13×9 dish, but it actually tasted really good! Yum!

Delicious cherry cheesecake, I made this for dessert at my family thanksgiving this year and it was a big hit! Will definitely be making it again.

No substitutions. Absolute perfection! Thank you so much for the flawless recipe. My family loves it.

This looks delicious! Would this work for individual mini jar desserts? Thank you.

Made this yummy recipe yesterday for dinner with friends and my friend asked for the recipe, the best compliment a baker can receive. This recipe is a keeper as is, no alterations needed. Can’t wait to try it with strawberries, blueberries, peaches, etc. Thank you for a great recipe that my family and friends will enjoy for years to come.

It was easy to make, and everyone loved it. Next time I will make a larger one so l can have some.

This has became a family favorite. Easy to make. I make a 2x recipe and split into 1/2 Cherry & 1/2 blueberry toppings, something for everyone.

I got sidetracked, and accidentally used granulated sugar instead of powdered. It was a HUGE hit!! If you don’t have powdered sugar, I suggest using regular sugar… it is now a required dessert at Friendsgiving 🥰.
Note: next year I will double the recipe, and use half powdered and half granulated… I’ll keep you posted!
Thank you for this recipe!!!
