No-Bake Cherry Cheesecake Bars
Ingredients:
- Graham Crackers (1 pack, about 9 sheets)
- No-Bake Cheesecake Filling (1 box, ready-made)
- Cherry Pie Filling (1 can, 21 ounces)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Pan:
- Line a square or rectangular baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
- Create the Graham Cracker Base:
- Place the graham crackers in a ziplock bag and crush them into fine crumbs using a rolling pin or the bottom of a heavy pan.
- Spread the graham cracker crumbs evenly in the prepared baking dish to form the crust. Press down firmly with your hands or the back of a spoon to create a compact base.
- Layer with Cheesecake Filling:
- Open the no-bake cheesecake filling and evenly spread it over the graham cracker crust. Use a spatula to smooth the surface.
- Top with Cherry Pie Filling:
- Open the can of cherry pie filling and carefully spread it over the cheesecake layer. Ensure an even distribution to cover the entire surface.
- Chill and Set:
- Place the dessert in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 1-2 hours, or until it has set. This will allow the layers to firm up and make it easier to cut into bars.
- Slice and Serve:
- Once the dessert has set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift it out of the baking dish. Place it on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to cut it into bars or squares.
- Optional: Garnish and Enjoy!
- For an extra touch, you can garnish the bars with additional graham cracker crumbs or a dusting of powdered sugar before serving.
Note: Feel free to get creative with this recipe by adding your favorite toppings or adjusting the quantities to suit your taste. This simple and delicious dessert is perfect for a quick sweet treat that requires minimal effort and won’t break the bank!
