Cream cheese and whipped topping folded together make this no-bake pie light and fluffy. This is a quick and easy dessert. For endless variations, use any flavor of pie filling as a topping! This recipe can be doubled for a 9x13 inch pan.
Wonderful! I used fat free cream cheese, Splenda, fat free Cool hip and sugar free cherry pie filling. By my calculations I cut the calories per slice in half (400 to 202 per). It came out beautifully and tasted wonderful!

It was good and tasty, but it fell apart really easy. Easy to make though.

This is so tasty, and it's a very versatile recipe...but I did make some minor changes. I used powdered sugar- it incorporates into the filling better. I also added 1 tsp of vanilla, 1/2 tsp of lemon extract and 1/2 tsp of orange extract to give the filling more flavor.
I have been looking for a recipe like this. I used to make the one with condensed milk and lemon juice. This one sets up nicely, tastes better, and is ready in a few minutes. I will be bringing it to potlucks from now on and serving it at family dinners. The best easy dessert I have made in a long time. My family loves it!
This is super simple and tastes great. You really can't mess this one up! I used blueberry pie filling. I reserved about a half a cup of the cream mix to pipe decorations on top of the berries.
This was an awesome and easy dessert!! I showed this to my hubby and he's like, what?!?!? no chocolate!! So I promptly changed it to a oreo chocolate crust and added fresh stawberries and blueberries to the top. I then drizzled chocolate fruit dipping sauce over the top. It was divine!! I love it the traditional way, but this variation will please anyone!! Thanks for sharing, Snowpoet!
The best I've tried of its type. True, it's not exactly what you could call a cheesecake, so "Cheese Pie" is appropriate. This recipe sets up much more predictably than the one made with sweetened, condensed milk and lemon juice. The texture is light and creamy when served cold - tends to get a little loose as it comes closer to room temperature. As a consequence, it may be frozen, and when allowed to thaw for a few minutes, can be cut and served that way. To give the cheese layer a little more interest, I added about 1/4 tsp lemon extract, plus a dash each of maple and almond extracts. These complemented the cherries perfectly. A+ for a simple recipe that tastes luscious and takes only minutes to throw together.
So easy! Very good! Can be piped into mini pie or tart shells as well and topped with an almost endless variety of toppings (graham cracker crumbs, different pie fillings, chocolate shavings, caramel syrup, cupcake sprinkles, chopped nuts, candies, etc.)
I love this pie. It's quick, easy, and delicious, and there are endless variations (I've made cherry, strawberry, and chocolate so far). Everyone I've made it for loves it, you really can't go wrong with this one :)
I'm amazed that something so simple can taste so good. My mother thought it was custard & couldn't believe it was no-bake cheesecake. Instead of cherry topping, I used strawberry topping made with cornstarch, sugar, & strawberries. And I used a chocolate crumb crust.
What a wonderful and easy recipe. I made three pies, cherry, blueberry & chocolate for family Christmas and they got rave reviews. For the chocolate, I used chocolate cool whip and chocolate graham cracker crumb pie shells. Wonderful!! This pie is a staple now!!
Excellent, easy, and a big hit. So much better than the other cherry cheesecake pie and cherry cheese pie recipes that are all over this site..and often are the same recipe...Stick with this one! I used cherries on some, blueberries on the some, and lemon pie filling on the rest..Also used the mini graham cracker crusts..so I had several individual servings....it made for a colorful, unique presentation. A Thanksgiving Hit!!
I have made this recipe for years and sometimes make a black forest version using a chocolate pie crust. Everyone loves it and it takes no time!
We made this with peach pie filling. I also used local honey, cinnamon, and a little vanilla. It was to die for!
I ran out of sugar, so I used a bit of granulated sugar and powdered sugar and it was great. I also used a regular pie crust which I baked and that was a treat.
thank you, thank you for this recipe. I made this way back in the 60's but made it w/ dream whip and cream cheese. My son LOVES anything cherry and I have wanted to make this again for him, but didn't think that they even made dream whip anymore. I have thinking of subing w/ cool whip, but just haven't tried it. This has given me courage! I'm sure it will be wonderful. Again thank you.
SOOO Easy! I've done it with many different fruits and it is always tasty. On Easter Sunday I discovered I didn't have enough sugar in the house so I substituted marshmallow cream. It worked very well - still set up and cut like a dream. I used twice what the sugar measurement was. Might have been a little sweet but helped to completely fill the pie crust. YUM.
I have been making this for years. I add a teaspoon of lemon juice and a teaspoon of vanilla to the mixture. A really good variation is to add crushed up oreo cookies or crushed up chocolate chip cookies. My father-in-law requests this every holiday.
This pie was awesome! I made my own graham cracker crust. I took it to a get together and people were fighting over the last piece! I am adding it to my holiday pie list!
I've made this for years, the only difference my recipe calls for 8 oz of sour cream also. Try it !!
I love this recipe! It's the way my mom used to make it, instead of the sweetened condensed milk, and is so much easier and quicker to make. Love it! I used light cream cheese and light whipped topping and it tasted great. Nice and fluffy light. Yum!
This is one of my favorite dessert recipes ever! My mother used to make it; the only difference is she used Dream Whip instead of frozen whipped topping. It is a little lighter and I like the texture a bit better. Sometimes I make a double recipe and put cherries on half and blueberries on the other half!
yum. I think next time I would like to add 1 more bar of cream cheese to the mix just to make it thicker.
Very good with blueberry, too.
Made this with my 13 year old daughter. We used an oreo cookie crust for one of the pies and graham cracker for the other, it was wonderful. Everyone asked for the recipe. Easiest thing I ever made.
Great pie, i've been making this for years with little changes.. I use powdered ( confectioners) sugar instead of regular sugar and add a teas of almond extract. I also use a pecan crust instead of graham cracker crust. I always get raves.
You can really make this any variety of ways and make it both lighter and low carb. For low carbers, just make a Atkins nut crust and use Splenda instead of sugar and a sugar free or light cherry pie filling. For people watching their sugars/weight, it's just as good using reduced fat cream cheese, light or "free" whipped topping and light cherry pie filling. I've had it many ways and it's really good every single time.
Made for my wedding rehearsal dinner. It was SO easy and turned out SO well! I used the granulated sugar and was nervous how it would turn out...but it was amazing!
I had a regular pie crust on hand instead of graham cracker. It was great! Once it was gone I craved it for several more days!
Very light and yummy!!! The only thing I did different was to use low fat cream cheese and low fat cool whip. Great recipe thanks!!!!
FANTASTIC! Not only is it quick and easy, but it tastes so good! I made only a few changes, I made my own graham cracker crust. It's a simple way to make it a big more homemade. I also added about a tsp of vanilla and almond extract to the cherries before putting them on the pie. I highly recommend the almond extract, it adds a wonderful flavor and an extra layer of flavor. I also used the French Vanilla whipped topping. Delicious, thanks for a wonderful recipe!
The pie was "ok". Nothing to write home about. I would cut back on the cool whip some as it overpowered the cream cheese a bit. Im wondering if it is made with real whipped cream if it would taste better?
I have made this several times, always comes out great. At gatherings my family requests this recipe. I give it a 5 star on fast, easy and delicious.
Delicious. Have made several times. The filling is always more than the pie crust can handle, though.
This is the easiest and best tasting no-bake cheesecake recipe I have found. My family loves cheesecakes, but I sometimes don't have time to make one, this one works great. Not that no-bake is any comparison for a good cheesecake, but when you are running short on time, this is really good.
When asked to bring dessert to a Suppers 8 dinner at church, I came to Allrecipes for help as dessert is not really what I do best. This Pie was so terrific, so easy, so successful, so tasty and so beautiful, it will probably become my trademark!
Served this at a gathering recently, and I had to "fight" to actually get a piece. Extremely easy and everyone (including small children) loved it!
My aunt makes this every year at Thanksgiving, and it is the first thing gone. I thought she spent hours making it, and when she gave me the recipe I was shocked! It is a family favorite, we call it "cherry delight". It is my all-time favorite dessert, so much creamier than cheesecake, and so easy!
Wow! This took me 5 minutes to make and was delicious! Will definitely make again. I made this with Blueberry pie filling and loved it. I think I'll try fresh fruit for a summer treat.
This has a great sweet but not-too-sweet taste and very nice flavor. It is gulped down at any party I take it to. You can easily use low-fat products to ease up on the calories.
Yummy! Made this as a dessert for my family - so bad at teasing your taste buds.. I wanted to eat the whole thing! Incredibly simple and delicious. Thanks snowpoet
Very good and quite easy. You don't have to worry about it "setting" like some other cheese recipes.
I had promised to bake some pies for the family gathering when my parents decided to move to a house with no oven! When I saw this recipe and tried it everyone LOVED it. It was light and fluffy and so EASY to make! Thank you for saving my day!
Perhaps the easiest and TASTIEST pie recipe I've ever used! Feel free to use the 10" prepared graham cracker crust because you will have enough filling! YUUMMMMMO!
My son made this for a boy scout dessert bar and it was a hit. We used low-fat cream cheese and lite cool whip. I thought it was a little too sweet, so I made it again and added a tablespoon or two of lime juice - much better! Gave it just the right about of tang to balance the sweetness. This will come out whenever we need a quick and easy dessert!
This was amazing!! It took literally 5 minutes to put together and was delicious. I made it for my husband for Fathers Day and he loved it!!
I made this exactly as written. It was quick and easy and would be something that I would think you could take to a potluck. Not much trouble at all. However, as written, it seems to lack a bit of flavour to me. I am not sure that the cherries on top really even had much flavour. I think the basic recipe is good though, and I will make my own version of it one of these days using fresh whole ingredients (real whipping cream, fresh fruit, etc). The basic idea of this recipe is good ~ very refreshing.
This is so easy! I used 1/3 fat cream cheese, light whipped topping, and mini graham cracker crusts for individual servings, topped with thawed frozen strawberries in light syrup. We really enjoyed it, thanks!
I make a similar Cheese Pie except you use dream whip instead of cool whip. I find it smoother. I use blueberry or cherry pie filling depending on what I'm craving. This is my Husband's favorite dessert. He asks for it every birthday. If you like cheese cake but find it heavy try this recipe- you live it!
Very easy to make, but i didn't like it at all. Ended up throwing it away. But.........i did use lowfat cream cheese and maybe that threw the flavor off a lot.
This was EXACTLY what I was looking for-not too sweet, not too cream-cheesey, just the perfect blend of each! Thank you!!
Yummmmmm! I was a little worried at first b/c the white sugar make the filling pretty grainy, but after refrigerating a while, the sugar dissolved and it was awesome, and couldn't be easier. But if you're gonna be serving this right away, you might want to use powdered sugar instead.
This pie is great with strawberry topping as well as blueberry or cherry. It is almost the same as a pie my grandmother used to make called "Dream pie".
My boys aren't crazy about cherries, so I substituted a chocolate graham cracker pie crust and folded crushed oreo cookies into the filling. It was SO easy and the kids loved it...a definate keeper!
A simple, tasty substitute for cheesecake. My husband said the only was to improve this recipe is to cut larger slices. Enough said.
Followed some advice from other reviews before I made it, and used powdered sugar instead of granulated and only used 1 1/2 cups of cool whip and it turned out great and was easy to make.
Made once & again today for Thanksgiving with my sweet potato pies as well. You really can't go wrong with this simple, delicious dessert pie! Enjoy!
I make this DESSERT all the time ! It is great for a I'VE GOTTA BRING SOMETHING recipe. My family loves it too. I use ready made pie crust. I usually use Graham Cracker but recently I tried a Short Bread crust... IT'S GOOD! I'm thinking of trying a different fruit,just to switch things up. Make this YUMMY PIE DESSERT
What I like so much about this pie is that you can dress it up or down. As is, it's fine, if you're not looking for a super sweet pie you can cut the sugar in half. I sometimes just want something to appease my sweet tooth. I have made this pie with pineapple filling on top which I think I like better than the cherries. This is a fun recipe to play with.
I used homemade whipped cream, made with almond and vanilla extract, instead of the whipped topping. I ended up having about 1 cup of cheese filling that didn't fit into the pan, but it was so tasty that I have no doubt we'll eat it! The lightness of this pie with the crunchiness of a homemade crust was the perfect dessert! I will definitely make again and with different pie fillings.
So easy and so good! Everyone was asking me for the recipe! This is a keeper for sure!
Wonderful recipe!! I did not change anything except for using fat free cream cheese, fat free whipped cream, splenda, and lite cherry pie topping. This is a great pie to make in the summer...no oven!! Tastes so delicious and light! It has now become a family favorite!! Great for any occasion.
It didn't have enough of the "cheese-cake" type flavor that I expected. In fact it was just kind of sweet but boring. I will try it again, but I'm going to cut the whipped topping and add a little extra cream cheese and see if that works to make this pie awesome.
My husband helped me make this pie after I read such wonderful reviews! It is absolutely delicious. And, by the way, my husband said he would definitely make it again!
I've made this different ways, but it's never come out with a good texture...it's always a little too mushy. Maybe more cream cheese or less whipped topping would help. Also, makes a little more than can comfortably fit into a regular pie crust so use a big one.
Made exactly as written and everyone devoured it. Was still soft after being refrigerated, so I would freeze next time.
Thank you for the recipe. I used to make this a lot but when I moved three years ago, lost the recipe. I knew it called for more than the cream cheese and whipped topping, but couldn't remember what. It was the sugar. Another great topping is strawberries mixed with glaze. YUM!!
I love this pie. It's so easy to make! I always have my little ones make it with me, because it's that easy! Something to throw together quickly & taste even better. Only thing in the recipe that I changed was that, I used powered sugar vs. regular sugar. It blends better. This is a family favorite in my household.
Awesome! Friends really liked it. I used a chocolate oreo crust and then crushed one on top. Agree that it is a cheese pie (not cheesecake). Great recipe.
Easy, easy, easy and quite delicious! Will try with blueberries next time; the cherries were terrific!
I'm not usually a fan of "no bake" desserts but didn't want to put the oven on in July. I had saved this recipe a long time ago so after reading the good reviews, I decided to try it and I'm so glad I did! Delicious and easy and my company loved it. I made it exactly as the recipe reads. I used 12 individual tarts in place of the 9-inch pie and used cherry topping. Very pretty and very scrumptious! Next time I may cut back Cool Whip to 10 to 12 oz. not 16 as it does overpower cream cheese. May try confectionary sugar, as suggested in other review, in place of regular sugar. Will make again.....even in January!
This was delicious and super easy......what more could you ask? I made these for Thanksgiving dinner and the family just raved :). Thanks for the yummy recipe.
i LOVE easy pies and this is one of them! I made it exactly as directed. I would push my mother out of the way to get the last slice because it really is just that good.
So simple, yet very cool and creamy. Just what I was looking for! I didn't have cherry pie filling so I just put a dollop of strawberry jam on each piece, YUMMM!
I agree with a previous 3star reviewer, super easy but I just didn't care for it.
It's just delicious! If you don't like cherries, you can use another fruit topping of your choice.
I made this easy recipe for my 6 year old and it was gone the same evening. My husband and sister helped make it disappear.
So so easy you can use all different fruit toppings. I followed the recipe exactly and it was GREAT! My grandfather begs me to make it all the time.
This was wonderful. So easy to make, light and delicious, and not too sweet. I would have given it 5 stars but I slightly altered the recipe by adding some almond extract to the cherries.
This was pretty good. More like 3 1/2 stars really. I used a shortbread crust, used confectioners sugar and added a tsp vanilla. My kids loved it but I felt like I was eating cherry pie filling on top of whipped cream. I would make it again but I think I'll either increase the cream cheese or decrease the whipped cream.
This pie is so easy and so delicious! My husband loves the box mix no-bake cheesecake but I hate making stuff out of a box. I am so glad I found this recipe because it is so much better and just as easy to make.
