If your making homemade crust
- If you are using pre made crust pans, skip this step.Start with placing the cookies into a food processor and pulse them until they become fine crumbs. Transfer the graham crust to a bowl, to that bowl add 7 table spoons of melted butter and mix.

HOW TO MAKE THE CHEESECAKE FILLING
- Add the room temperature cream cheese and sugar to a mixing bowl. Next, use either a hand mixer or a kitchen aid to whip the cream cheese and sugar until it is smooth without lumps, be patient with this process. It may take 7-10 minutes. This will result in a silkier no bake cheesecake. Scrape down the walls using a rubber spatula every 2 minutes to ensure everything mixes equally. Set the cream cheese aside.
- In a clean bowl, beat the cold heavy whipping cream until it forms stiff peaks. ( about 6 minutes) Be careful to not over beat the whipping cream it will start to turn into butter.
- In a microwave safe cup add 1/4 cup of water and 1 1/2 packet’s of unflavored gelatin, then using a teaspoon mix the gelatin into the water. Place the cup with the water and gelatin into the microwave for 20 seconds to help the gelatin melt.
- Let the hot gelatin cool down for 5 minutes while stirring it occasionally.
- While the gelatin is cooling, using a spatula combine the cream cheese to the whipped cream.
- Once the gelatin has cooled down a bit, strain it using a small strainer into the cream cheese and whipping cream. (make sure the gelatin is warm, if its hot it will melt the whipping cream)
- Combine it all together on the lowest setting on your mixer just for it to come all together.
- Pour the cheesecake into the crust pans (or into the homemade crust in the springform pan)
- Smooth out the top and place in the fridge over night to set. ( or at least 12 hours)
- The next day or when you are ready to serve it, loosen the sides of the cheesecake using a knife. open the springform and take out this amazing no bake cheesecake.
- Top if off with cherry pie filling and enjoy!
