No Bake Cherry Cheesecake
Finally, we get to enjoy these amazing summer gifts. I absolutely adore cherries.
One of the best things about this cherry cheesecake recipe is how easy is to make it.
Not only really easy, but this recipe is a no bake one, you heard it right 🙂 Perfect for crazy, hot summer days, when you don’t want to come close to your stove top or even worst, the oven. My no bake cheesecake recipe is just perfect as an easy summer dessert.
Ingredients for No Bake Cherry Cheesecake
- fresh cherries – as topping
- graham crackers – to make the crust
- butter
- cream cheese mixture: cream cheese and mascarpone – for filling
- sugar
Who could resist this bowl full of fresh cherries? They make the perfect cheesecake topping in my opinion.
Come on, there is no better summer dessert than a bowl with fresh cherries! The only thing would make it better, is to actually pick your own. Have you ever picked your own cherries? We did and we loved it 🙂
For this brief period of time when we can enjoy them, I am trying to include cherries in pretty much every dessert I am making. Usually I go for cherry ice cream sandwiches, cherry frangipane tart or cherry mini pavlovas.
How to Make Cherry Cheesecake
Preparation takes only 20 minutes and that’s pretty much everything when it comes to this no bake cherry cheesecake.
- We start with making the crust for the cherry cheesecake: mix melted butter with crushed graham crackers and add on a prepared tin, pressing to form the crust.
- Refrigerate while you prepare the filling for cherry cheesecake.
- To make the filling for cherry cheesecake, start by adding gelatin to warm water to dissolve and them mix cream cheese 9preferably softened cream cheese), mascarpone and the other ingredients.
- Pour the filling over the graham cracker crust and place the cheesecake in the fridge for around 4 hours.
- Remove it from fridge and serve with fresh cherries as topping and some powdered sugar.
You can always whip up some heavy cream and decorate the top with whipped cream and fresh cherries
Just this easy! Look at this stunning cherry cheesecake. Wanna have a slice?

July 1, 2015 at 12:54 pmYou know… I am not always a huge fan of cherries. I was once scared off by the maraschino cherries. After I have discovered rainier cherries a few years ago, I can’t have enough of them. So sweet!
Cherry picking sounds so much fun! My cousin who lives in Washington has a cherry tree. I would love to visit her and pick some fresh cherries. 🙂 Anyhow, your cheesecake is delish! It is such a great way to decorate the cake with some fresh cherries. YUM!
By the way, have you been watching FIFA? Did you get a chance to see them in stadium?
Adore Foods says
July 3, 2015 at 7:27 amI did not try the maraschino ones. Off to google about them 🙂 Yes, cherry picking is so much fun. We always end up with more cherries than needed, so I have to look for different ways to serve them. I have been watching more snippets from the tournament. Have to admit I am not such a big fan of women’s soccer. What about you? Have you been watching? xo

July 4, 2015 at 12:44 pmSince the US team is still in the world cup, I have been watching a couple games. Definitely looking forward to tomorrow’s championship. 🙂

Sarah | (Cooking for) Kiwi & Bean says
July 3, 2015 at 8:26 amThis looks heavenly. Cherries are my number one summer fruit, and I can’t get enough of them at this time of year, it seems. Where I grew up the cherries were about the size of a small fist. Honestly! Like nothing you’ve ever seen before, and so sweet and juicy.
Beautiful photography, too. 🙂

July 3, 2015 at 9:32 amHow was picking your own cherries?? That sounds like so much fun! I’ve been meaning to hunt for a place around here to pick my own fresh fruits in the summertime! 🙂 This no bake cheesecake looks DIVINE. Truth be told I’ve never actually tried a cherry besides the maraschino ones you get in the can, so I’d love to taste test these! Thanks so much for sharing!
Christine says
July 3, 2015 at 3:14 pmI’ve been intimidated by cheescake but I think I could handle this one. It’s definitely worth a shot!
Holly | Twisted Tastes says
July 3, 2015 at 3:17 pmThe fresh cherries look like an awesome topper. When I bake cheesecake I usually get cracks, so this is a must try if I’m going for beauty and flavor. Thanks for sharing. Cheers!
