Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Ultimate Cherry Cheesecake Delight.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) if you plan to bake the crust. In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers with the melted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x11-inch dish to form a solid crust. If you prefer a no-bake version, simply chill the crust in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes instead of baking.
Step 2
In another bowl, pour in the milk and add the dry whipped topping mix. Beat them together until the mixture becomes fluffy and light, creating a delightful whipped topping that will add a cloud-like texture to your cheesecake.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and white sugar together until they are fully combined and smooth. This step is crucial for achieving that creamy consistency. Once mixed, gently fold in the whipped topping mixture until everything is well blended and silky. This is where the magic happens!
Step 4
Spread the creamy filling evenly over the graham cracker crust, smoothing it out with a spatula. Now, it's time to let this beauty set! Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 1 to 2 hours, allowing it to firm up and develop its flavors.
Step 5
Once set, it's time for the grand finale! Open that can of cherry pie filling and generously spoon it over the top of your cheesecake. The vibrant red cherries will not only add a pop of color but also a burst of sweet flavor that perfectly complements the creamy filling.
