Craving a dessert that’s easy, elegant, and bursting with cherry goodness? This no-bake cheesecake brings rich, creamy layers to life with the bold flavor of Chelan Ranch Organics freeze-dried cherries — no oven marathon required. Nestled on a golden graham cracker crust (lightly baked for that perfect crunch), it’s the kind of treat that feels fancy but is secretly simple.

From Pantry to Countertop

Mix granulated sugar into the graham cracker crumbs — just enough to sweeten the base and help it crisp up when baked. This little step gives the crust a golden, caramel-kissed finish that pairs perfectly with the creamy filling.

Next, pour the melted butter and stir until the mixture resembles damp sand. The butter binds everything together, making it easy to press into the pan and helping the crust bake into a perfectly toasty base.

Press the buttery crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and slightly up the sides of your pie pan. Use the back of a spoon or the bottom of a measuring cup to get a smooth, even layer. This sets the stage for that creamy, cherry-packed filling.

And that’s all it takes! A simple graham cracker crust that’s golden, crisp, and full of buttery goodness. Whether filling it with a no-bake cheesecake, a chilled cream pie, or even something citrusy and bright, this crust adds the perfect balance of sweetness and crunch. It’s quick to make, easy to customize, and always a crowd-pleaser — proof that sometimes the simplest ingredients make the most delicious foundation.

There’s something magical about capturing the peak flavor of summer cherries and turning it into something you can enjoy year-round. This simple syrup recipe uses our Chelan Ranch freeze-dried organic cherries to create a rich, tangy-sweet drizzle that’s perfect for everything from pancakes to cocktails.

Looking for a dessert that blends farm-fresh flavor with a bit of gourmet flair? At Chelan Ranch, we’ve transformed our naturally sweet freeze-dried cherries into the star of this creamy, no-bake cheesecake. Set atop a golden, lightly toasted graham cracker crust baked for 8 minutes, this pie is the perfect balance of tangy, sweet, and satisfyingly crisp.

Let’s Build That Cherry Bliss

These are the stars of the show — Chelan Ranch freeze-dried cherries. Grown organically and picked at peak ripeness, they’re dried to preserve their intense, naturally sweet flavor. Unlike syrupy pie fillings, these cherries add vibrant color and bold cherry taste without any added moisture, making them perfect for mixing straight into the creamy cheesecake filling.

Add the freeze-dried cherries and sugar to a food processor and pulse until the cherries break down into small, colorful bits. Blending them with the sugar helps evenly distribute that bold cherry flavor throughout the cheesecake, and gives the filling a beautiful blush of color.

In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and fluffy, then mix in the powdered sugar and vanilla for a rich, tangy base. Once fully blended, gently fold in the whipped cream to lighten the mixture into a soft, mousse-like texture. This step gives the cheesecake its signature creamy, airy bite.

Once the creamy cherry filling is nestled into the crust, you can enjoy it just as it is, or take it to the next level with this glossy cherry syrup made from reconstituted freeze-dried cherries. It adds a tart-sweet flavor and a beautiful finish to each slice. Want to make your own? Reconstituted Freeze-Dried Cherry Syrup Recipe.
