"I have made and enjoyed many a cheesecake but come holidays and special occasions at our house this family favourite is a given. Being freezer friendly it also makes for a great make ahead. When it comes to recipe requests for the most part it comes as a surprise that it's a no bake."

Step by Step Method

Step 1

In a large bowl mix the wafer crumbs and melted butter, press into a 9 or 10 inch springform pan (I like using the 10 inch use the 9 inch when wanting thicker slices, I like to bake my wafer crusts for 5 minutes in a pre heated 350 oven, cool before filling

Step 2

For those who prefer to have their slices without the cherry topping save 1/4 cup of crumbs to sprinkle on top of the cheesecake and serve the cherries on the side.

Step 3

Mix cream cheese, vanilla and sugar using a hand mixer whip until smooth

Step 4

Whip cream add in 3 – 4 tablespoons sugar, add to cream cheese mix, whip until smooth and creamy pour into chilled wafer crust

Step 5

Refrigerate

Step 6

Top with cherries just before serving

I made this using a prepared gluten free graham crust and it turned out delicious. This is quick and easy to put together.

This cheesecake recipe is easy and soooo delicious! Our family and dinner guests all gave it high reviews! I did bake the crust for 5 minutes and whipped the cream ahead of time. The filling is lovely and creamy. Used a low sugar cherry pie filling and the tartness of the cherries was a perfect foil for the sweet filling. This is going into my Favvy File for sure. Thank you Gerry for another keeper! Made for Billboard Recipe Tag.
