No-Bake Cherry Cheesecake Bars: A Sweet, Creamy Delight for Every Occasion

🧁 Instructions:

1. Make the Crust

In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press it firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish to form an even crust. Chill in the fridge while you make the filling.

2. Prepare the Filling

Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then continue to mix until fully incorporated. Fold in the whipped topping gently until no streaks remain.

3. Assemble the Cheesecake Bars

Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.

4. Add the Cherry Topping

Carefully spoon the cherry pie filling over the cream layer, spreading it out evenly.

5. Chill and Serve

Refrigerate the bars for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to allow them to set. Once chilled, cut into squares and serve cold.
