Ingredients

Scale

To make No Bake Cheesecake Parfait with Cherry Pie Filling, you will need the following ingredients:

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 4 tablespoons melted butter
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup cherry pie filling (store-bought or homemade)
  • Fresh cherries for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Crust:

  1. Mix the Crust Ingredients: In a small bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture is evenly combined and has the consistency of wet sand.
  2. Layer the Crust: Spoon a small amount of the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of each serving glass or parfait dish, pressing it gently to form a compact base layer. Set aside.

Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:

  1. Whip the Cream Cheese: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add Powdered Sugar and Vanilla: Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
  3. Whip the Heavy Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
  4. Fold the Whipped Cream into the Cream Cheese Mixture: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and well incorporated.

Assemble the Parfaits:

  1. Layer the Cheesecake Filling: Spoon a generous amount of the cheesecake mixture over the graham cracker crust in each glass, smoothing the top with a spoon or spatula.
  2. Top with Cherry Pie Filling: Spoon a generous amount of cherry pie filling over the cheesecake layer, making sure to cover the entire surface with the juicy cherries.
  3. Chill the Parfaits: Cover the parfaits with plastic wrap or lids and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to firm up.

Serve:

  1. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, garnish the parfaits with fresh cherries if desired. Serve chilled and enjoy!
