Ingredients

• 1.5 Cups graham cracker crumbs
• 0.33 Cups brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 Teaspoons (tsp) cinnamon, ground
• 0.33 Cups butter, melted
• 16 Ounces (oz) cream cheese
• 2 Teaspoons (tsp) lemon juice
• 1 Pint heavy cream
• 0.33 Cups white sugar
• 21 Ounces (oz) cherry pie filling

Steps

1. Prepare the Crust: In a small bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Stir in melted butter until well mixed. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8- or 10-inch springform pan. Chill in the refrigerator until firm, about 30 minutes.
2. Make the Filling: In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese and lemon juice together until smooth and creamy. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, then gradually add the white sugar, continuing to whip until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined and smooth.
3. Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour the cream cheese mixture over the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight to set.
4. Serve: Just before serving, remove the sides of the springform pan. Top the cheesecake with cherry pie filling. Slice and enjoy your Luscious Lemon No-Bake Cheesecake!
