Method
 

  1. This recipe makes 2 (9 inch) cheesecakes pans, or 1 (9 inch) cheesecake made in a springform for a taller cheesecake
If your making homemade crust
  1. 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.
  2. get a 9 inch springform ready, you will add the crumb to the bottom of the springform then also bring it up the walls all around. You can use a tall glass to help smooth the walls. Then the springform into the freezer until we will need it again.
HOW TO MAKE THE CHEESECAKE FILLING
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Let the hot gelatin cool down for 5 minutes while stirring it occasionally.
  5. While the gelatin is cooling, using a spatula combine the cream cheese to the whipped cream.
  6. 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)
  7. Combine it all together on the lowest setting on your mixer just for it to come all together.
  8. Pour the cheesecake into the crust pans (or into the homemade crust in the springform pan)
  9. Smooth out the top and place in the fridge over night to set. ( or at least 12 hours)
  10. 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.
  11. Top if off with cherry pie filling and enjoy!
