Ingredients for No Bake 5 Ingredient Cheesecake with Cherries
Below are 5 simple ingredients for such a great recipe.
- can of cherry pie filling
- heavy whipping cream
- sugar
- vanilla extract
- cream cheese
See recipe card for quantities.
Instructions
Here is the best way to whip up a fabulous dessert without taking much time.
- Step 1: Pour heavy whipping cream into a large bowl. Using a hand mixer on low speed, mix the cream. Continuously stir until stiff peaks form. This takes about eight minutes. It will also be a fluffy texture.
- Step 2: In a medium bowl, combine the sugar, vanilla extract and cream cheese. With the hand mixer on low speed, mix it until all creamy. Being sure to get all from on the sides of the bowl. This takes about one to two minutes.
- Step 3: Combine all of the ingredients together and stir together well with a spoon. Then scoop it all out into a 9-inch pie pan. Use a spoon or rubber spatula to smooth out. Refrigerate to set overnight.
- Step 4: After refrigerating overnight, it is time to add the cherry topping. Simply scoop the cherry pie filling with a spoon and spread it over the top of your cheesecake and enjoy!
Hint: I poured the cherry pie filling in an airtight container and refrigerated it overnight as well. Then, the next day when I put it on top of the cheesecake, it was chilled too.
Another helpful hint is when cutting the cheesecake. Using a sharp knife when cutting into the pie can help it stay intact.
Variations
- Crust - if you would like to add crust, a store-bought graham cracker crust is great. You could also make a homemade crust. Or have a crust of Oreo cookies.
- Fresh fruit - you can add fresh cherries to top off your cheesecake.
- Topping - on top of the cherries, you could crush up graham crackers or Nilla wafers and sprinkle them on. And you could also add cool whip or whipped cream on top of the cherries.
Equipment
- Hand mixer
- Medium mixing bowl
- Large mixing bowl
- Spoon
- Spatula
- 9-inch pie dish
Storage
For leftovers, cover them with aluminum foil or place in an airtight container. Keep refrigerated for up to about four days.
Frugal Tip
One of my favorite frugal tips when baking is this. You do not have to have a stand mixer if you do not have one for this recipe. For the heavy whipping cream, you can use a hand mixer.
