No-Bake Cherry Cheesecake Pie

Everybody needs a good no-bake pie recipe in their back pocket. This is the kind of pie you whip up when your grandma invites you last minute to a cook-out or to take to game night when it’s so hot you can’t bear to turn on the oven.

I have been making this no-bake cherry cheesecake pie ever since I was a little girl. It was a family favorite in my house-perfect for those hot summer Sunday dinners.

It was also the dessert that taught me about confectioner’s sugar.  I had never seen that particular nomenclature for powdered sugar when I was younger and so I assumed it meant granulated sugar.  It did not.  It was the grittiest pie my family had ever tasted!  But they are good people and ate it anyway!

Ways to Customize:

The best part about this pie, is that it’s super customizable based on what your needs are for the day.

  • If you make your own crust, you can put it in a 9×13 inch cake pan for easier access at a potluck.
  • If you only want 1 pie, load all the cheesecake filling into a 10 inch crust and use 1 can of pie filling.
  • You can choose any kind of pie filling for the top. My family likes cherry and blueberry but pretty much any pie filling will work (except maybe pumpkin…). I can imagine it would be quite lovely with peach pie filling in late summer or maybe apple in the fall.

Notes

If you want a pie with more cheesecake filling, just use 1-10 inch crust and 1 can of pie filing. 
You can also make it in a 9×13 cake pan, but you’ll have to make your own Graham cracker crust for the bottom.

Looking for other no-bake treats? Maybe try these no-bake energy bars or maybe peanut butter pie! Looking for other summery sweets? I like these mini key lime pies or this easy lemon pie.

Happy Baking!
