No-Bake Cheesecake
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
- 2 tbsp Lemon Juice (or Amaretto)
- 2 tsp Vanilla
- 2 cups Whipping Cream
- 1 can Cherry Pie Filling
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.
