Description
A delightful no-bake cheesecake parfait layered with cherry filling and graham cracker crumbs, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups finely crushed graham cracker crumbs
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 7 tablespoons butter (melted)
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a small mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix well and set aside.
- Make the cheesecake filling: In a medium mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Next, beat in the sweetened condensed milk until everything combines seamlessly.
- Add the flavor: Pour in the freshly squeezed lemon juice and vanilla extract, mixing until it’s well combined.
- Layer it up: Set 6 plastic, 9-ounce punch cups on the counter or a cookie sheet for easy serving. Begin by scooping 2 tablespoons of the graham cracker crumb mixture into the bottom of each cup. Press down lightly to form the base.
- Add the cheesecake layer: Spoon 3 tablespoons of the cheesecake mixture into each cup, spreading it out evenly.
- Cherry time: Next, evenly distribute half of the cherry pie filling among the 6 cups. Save the other half for the final topping.
- Create another layer: Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the graham cracker crumb mixture over the cherry layer in each cup.
- Top it off: Divide the remaining cheesecake mixture between the 6 cups, spreading it evenly on top.
- Final cherry layer: Now, divide the reserved cherry pie filling evenly on top of the cheesecake mixture. For a finishing touch, sprinkle a little graham cracker crumb mixture over the cherry.
- Serve: Enjoy immediately or chill in the fridge for up to 24 hours before serving.
