Cherry Delight – a dessert that’s always a hit at parties and get-togethers. No-bake cheesecake layer topped with cherry pie filling makes this an irresistible treat!

If you love creamy no-bake desserts, you should try my No-Bake Pumpkin Pie. Serve it for the holidays, along with cookies, like my Red Velvet Crinkle Cookies.

I am so excited to finally share this recipe on the blog! It is a family recipe and a dessert we always look forward to during holidays. It’s super easy to make, requires no baking (although I did bake the crust to set it even more) and looks so festive! My Husband’s Grandmother used to make this dessert for holidays. I never had a chance to meet her but I always think of her when this treat appears on the holiday table. My brother-in-law took over the tradition of making the Cherry Delight.

Let’s get to the recipe.

Ingredients:

• 2 packages shortbread cakes (or 1 Angel food cake)
• 2 (8 oz.) packages cream cheese, softened (can use fat free)
• 1 (16 oz.) container sour cream (can use low fat)
• 2 sm. boxes vanilla instant pudding (can use fat free/sugar free)
• 1 large can cherry pie filling

Directions:

Make pudding as directed on box, chill.
In separate large bowl, blend cream cheese and sour cream until smooth.
Fold in pudding, blend on low until smooth.
Cut bread into 1/2 inch pieces and cover bottom of 9×13” pan.
Pour cream mix over bread, smooth out evenly.
Top with spoonfuls of cherry pie filling. Use a knife to swirl it through the cream filling.
