Ingredients:

For the Crust:

• 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar

For the Cheesecake Layer:

• 16 oz (2 packages) cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip or homemade whipped cream)

For the Cherry Topping:

• 1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Crust:
   • In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated with butter.
2. Assemble the Crust Layer:
   • Press the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish to create an even crust layer. Use the back of a spoon or a measuring cup to press it down firmly.
3. Prepare the Cheesecake Layer:
   • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
   • Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese and mix until well combined.
   • Gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
4. Layer the Cheesecake Mixture:
   • Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the graham cracker crust in the baking dish.
5. Add the Cherry Topping:
   • Spoon the cherry pie filling on top of the cheesecake layer, spreading it out evenly.
6. Chill and Serve:
   • Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or until the lush is set.
7. Serve:
   • Once the Cherry Cheesecake No-Bake Lush has set, it’s ready to serve. You can garnish it with additional whipped cream or fresh cherries, if desired.
8. Enjoy:
   • Cut into squares, serve, and enjoy your delicious Cherry Cheesecake No-Bake Lush!

This dessert is a crowd-pleaser and perfect for potlucks, picnics, or any occasion where you want to impress with a delightful, no-bake treat.
