Description
No Bake Cherry Cheesecake Dessert Recipe is a chilled, creamy layered dessert made with a dark Oreo cookie crust, fluffy cream cheese filling, and glossy cherry pie topping.
Ingredients
Scale
- 24 Oreo cookies, crushed into fine crumbs
- 5 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 8 oz whipped topping, thawed
- 1 can cherry pie filling, about 21 oz
Instructions
- Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or a sealed bag and rolling pin.
- Mix the Oreo crumbs with melted butter until the texture looks like damp sand.
- Press the Oreo mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8×8-inch baking dish to form an even crust.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then mix until fully combined and fluffy.
- Fold in the whipped topping gently until the filling is smooth, light, and evenly blended.
- Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the Oreo crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Spoon the cherry pie filling over the cream cheese layer and spread it evenly across the surface.
- Cover the dessert and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully chilled and set.
- Slice into squares and serve cold.
Notes
- Use softened cream cheese for the smoothest no bake cheesecake filling.
- Press the Oreo crust firmly into the pan so the slices hold together better.
- Chill the dessert for at least 4 hours before slicing for cleaner layers.
- For best results, thaw the whipped topping before folding it into the cream cheese mixture.
- Do not overmix after adding the whipped topping, or the filling may lose its fluffy texture.
- This dessert is best served cold straight from the refrigerator.
- Use a sharp knife and wipe it clean between cuts for neat squares.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
