Silky Sweet No Bake Cherry Cheesecake (with cherry jam)

No bake cherry cheesecake with a graham cracker crust combines sweet and juicy cherries with luscious cream cheese. Only 15 minutes to prep!

Prep: 15 minTotal: 15 min
Servings: 9 slices 1x

Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 1/3 cup graham cracker crumbs (if you can’t find in store, use your food processor to crush up graham crackers
  • 1/3 cup agave nectar, honey or maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter, melted

Cheesecake

  • 24 oz cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup cherry jam
  • 1/4 cup agave nectar, honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Make the crust: Mix together the graham cracker crumbs, agave nectar and sweetener until it’s combined and resembles wet sand.
  2. Press the crust: Line an 8×8 square pan with parchment paper and transfer all that cookie crust goodness to it. Use your hands to press it down into a firm layer.
  3. Whip the cream cheese: In a large bowl use an electric handheld mixture to whip the room temperature cream cheese until smooth.
  4. Make the cheesecake: Add the heavy cream, jam, agave and vanilla to the bowl with the cream cheese. Continue to whip on high until fluffy and all the ingredients are combined to a beautiful pink color, for about 1 minute.
  5. Spread on top of the crust: Add the cream cheese mixture to the pan and spread it out evenly on top of the crust.
  6. Swirl in some extra jam: This is strictly for looks but dollop a few extra tablespoons of cherry jam on top of the cream cheese layer and use a toothpick or knife to swirl it around into the cream cheese layer.
  7. Chill: Cover the entire pan with foil and pop it in the fridge overnight. Letting the cheesecake chill overnight really allows it to set and congeal.
  8. Serve: Remove the cheesecake from the pan by pulling the sides of the parchment paper up and placing it on a cutting board. Cut into 9 large slices (or smaller if you want) and dig in!
