  • Cream cheese: For the creamy filling. Use softened cream cheese for a smooth texture, and you can also opt for fat-free cream cheese for a lighter version.
  • Cherry pie filling: For the delicious cherry topping. While store-bought works great, you can also make homemade cherry pie filling with fresh fruit.
  • Powdered sugar: Helps balance the tartness of the cherries.
  • Cream: Improves the rich texture of the cheesecake filling.
  • Cool whip: Adds a light and airy texture to the cheesecake mixture.
  • Oreo cookie crumbs: Serve as the crunchy base of the cheesecake.
  • Butter: When melted, it binds the Oreo crumbs to create a firm crust. Use unsalted butter. 
  • Vanilla: Improves the overall taste. Use pure vanilla extract.
  • Cherry jam: Boosts the cherry flavor.
  • Mini Oreo cookies: Add little pockets of crunchiness throughout the cheesecake.
  • Dark chocolate bar: Shaved for a bittersweet accent to the sweet cake.

How to Make Cherry Cheesecake

Follow these simple instructions to make this no-bake cherry cheesecake dessert. See the recipe card below if you need more help.

Step 1: Make the Cookie Crust

Combine melted butter with the Oreo cookie crumbs in a medium bowl. Use a fork to mix well. 

After that, press the cookie crumb mixture into your 9 x 13 baking dish and spread evenly. This is the base of your lasagna โ€“ put it in the refrigerator while you make the cheesecake mixture

Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling

Beat cream cheese on medium-high speed until light and fluffy with an electric mixer. 

Then, add the dry ingredients: powdered sugar and white sugar. Mix into the cream cheese on low with your hand mixer.

Next, fold in the heavy cream and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed until the whipping cream is fully mixed into the cream cheese. 

After that, add the cherry jam and mix into the batter, then add the cool whip and beat on medium speed until well combined. 

Finally, divide the mixture in half.

Step 3: Make the Cheesecake Layers

Cover the cookie crumb base with a layer of the cream cheese mixture and spread evenly using a rubber spatula.

Step 4: Add Toppings

Sprinkle 3 packets of mini Oreo cookies over the cheesecake layer.

Spoon one can of cherry pie filling over the mini Oreos and cream cheese. 

Repeat this once more, finishing with two cans of cherry pie filling for the top.

Step 5: Chill in the Fridge

Leave the lasagna in the refrigerator for about 2 hours before serving. Store in an airtight container, or wrap well with plastic wrap. 

Expert Cherry Cheesecake Tips

Follow these expert tips, and your no-bake cheesecake recipe will be perfect every time.

  • Crust Craze: Any chocolate wafer cookie will do for the crust. Want to switch it up? Vanilla Oreos or even Graham Crackers work well, too.
  • Sweet Christmas: Even though this is a delicious summer dessert, it’s a fabulous Christmas dessert as well!
  • Fruit Fiesta: While fresh cherries are the star, you can totally turn this into a no-bake strawberry cheesecake. You can use any seasonal fruit really.
  • Spread Evenly: Aim for an even layer when spreading your cheesecake mixture.
  • Paddle Pro: Using the paddle attachment of your mixer can help you get a perfectly blended cheesecake filling without over-mixing.
  • Prepared Pan: Lightly prepare your pan with cooking spray so it doesn’t stick.

How to Serve

When it comes to serving the best dessert lasagne, I recommend serving with the remaining cool whip and letting people add more on top!

FAQs

Here are some of the questions people have asked me:

Can I make a soft graham cracker crust?

You bet! Just mix a little bit of melted butter and Graham Cracker crumbs together and combine well. Remember to press the mixture down firmly in the pan!

Can I use a cup of cherry preserves on top?

You can top this with anything you’d like! Anything cherry, strawberry, or blueberry is going to taste divine on top of the whipped cream layer.

Can I freeze this no-bake dessert?

I think that it’s best served fresh, but if you want to store it in the freezer, wrap it well or use an airtight container. 

Just note that freezing might mean it loses its creamy texture.
