No-Bake Cheesecake

Print Recipe
Emma J. used to make this for my birthday for years. Still one of my favourite desserts. I'd slowly eat the whole Pyrex in a couple days. There's not a lot to it, but it's delicious. Is it cheesecake? Kind of. It has cream cheese. It's also best topped with canned cherry pie filling.

Ingredients

Crust

  • 1-1/2 cup Graham Cracker Crumbs
  • 1/3 cup White Sugar
  • 6 tbsp Butter Melted

Filling

  • 2 8. oz. Cream Cheese Package Not from a tub.
  • 1 cup White Sugar

Instructions

Crust

  • Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, melted butter in a mixing bowl.
  • Press mixture into the bottom of a 7"x11" Pyrex baking dish.
  • That's really about it. You should probably double the amount for a thicker crust.

Filling

  • Beat first four ingredients together. Do not let the cream cheese warm up too much.
  • Whip the whipping cream and slowly mix in with the first ingredients with a hand mixer.
  • Pour this over the graham cracker crust.
  • Top with the cherry pie filling.
  • Refrigerate overnight.

  • Buttercream Frosting

    I always use this for Birthday Cakes. It holds a good from, and takes colouring really well. It is a lot of butter, so don’t go too crazy, otherwise you’ll get bathroom issues. C. just eats the icing, and tries to give the cupcake to whoever is closest.

      It’s a solid icing to use on cookies. It’s slightly glossy and looks great. I hate using raw eggs, because of salmonella possibilities,but egg replacers work just as well.

  • Haupia

    This is my favourite dessert from Hawaii. It’s super simple, but is absolutely delicious. Unless you don’t like coconuts, but then you also don’t like happiness, so you can be sad while I eat my haupia.
