Description

A refreshing and easy no-bake lemon cheesecake topped with your favorite cherry or blueberry pie filling. This dessert features a crunchy graham cracker crust combined with a creamy lemon pudding and cream cheese mixture, perfect for warm days or whenever you want a quick, crowd-pleasing treat.

Ingredients

Crust

  • 3 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ⅔ cup margarine or butter (melted)
  • 1 cup white sugar

Cheesecake Filling

  • 2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese (softened)
  • 4 cups milk (divided)
  • 2 packages lemon instant pudding mix

Topping

  • 1 can pie filling (cherry or blueberry recommended)

Instructions

  1. Mix, press, and cool. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, 2/3 cup melted margarine or butter, and 1 cup white sugar. Mix thoroughly using a rubber spatula until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish, using the bottom of a flat 1-cup measure to compact it tightly. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to set.
  2. Beat filling. In a bowl, beat together two 8 oz packages of softened cream cheese with 1 cup of milk until smooth. Gradually add the remaining 3 cups of milk along with two packages of lemon instant pudding mix. Beat slowly for about 1-2 minutes until everything is well combined. Avoid overbeating to maintain the creamy texture.
  3. Pour, spread, cool, and serve. Pour the lemon cheesecake filling evenly over the chilled graham cracker crust. Gently spread 1 can of cherry or blueberry pie filling on top. Refrigerate the assembled cheesecake for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving. Enjoy this delicious, tangy, and creamy dessert!

Notes

  • Using softened cream cheese helps achieve a smooth filling without lumps.
  • Chill the crust properly to ensure it holds together well when topped.
  • Do not overbeat the filling to prevent it from becoming too soft or watery.
  • The pie filling on top adds sweetness and a fruity contrast; cherry and blueberry are recommended but feel free to try other flavors.
  • This cheesecake tastes best after chilling overnight, allowing flavors to meld.
