The Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make the No Bake Cherry Cheesecake Bars (the exact measurements and full recipe instructions are below in the printable recipe card):
Graham crackers
Butter
Granulated sugar
Cream cheese
Whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
Powdered sugar
Lemon juice
Cherry pie filling.
Making No Bake Cherry Cheesecake Bars
Start by crushing the graham crackers into a fine crumb in a food processor or blender, then mix the crumbs with granulated sugar and melted butter. Press this mixture into an 8×8-inch pan lined with parchment paper.
Tip: Be sure to leave some of the parchment paper sticking up from the edges of the pan. This will help you lift the whole cheesecake out of the pan after it has chilled.
Use an electric mixer or stand mixer to beat the cream cheese until smooth. Next, add the whipped topping, powdered sugar, and lemon juice and mix until well combined.
Scoop the whipped cheesecake mixture over the graham cracker crust.
Finally, add the cherries to the top, then chill the cheesecake for 4 hours.
Lift the whole cheesecake out of the pan, then cut into 9 squares. Serve the cheesecake chilled.
How to Store Leftovers
If you have any leftover No Bake Cherry Cheesecake Bars, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. You can keep them for up to three days.
