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.

Whether hosting a summer gathering or treating yourself, this simple yet elegant pie crust brings the bold taste of Washington cherries to your table.

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F(175°C)
2. In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs and sugar.
3. Pour in the melted butter and mix until the crumbs are fully coated and the mixture resembles wet sand.
4. Press the mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie dish, using the back of a measuring cup or glass to pack it evenly on the bottom and sides.
5. Bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden and fragrant.
6. Let the crust cool completely before filling it with your no-bake cream cheese pie filling.

Notes

If you like a touch of cinnamon in your crust, add 1/2 teaspoon to the crumb mixture before adding butter. It goes beautifully with a cream cheese filling.
