How to Make No-Bake Cherry Cheesecake Parfaits
Make the Crust:
In a bowl, mix crushed graham crackers with sugar. Stir in melted butter until evenly moistened. Press ¼ cup of the mixture into the bottom of each parfait cup. Chill while making the filling.
Mix the Filling:
In a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, beat cream cheese, sugar, lemon juice, vanilla, and salt until smooth. Switch to a whisk attachment, add the heavy cream, and whisk until stiff peaks form (about 3 minutes).
Assemble the Parfaits:
Spoon or pipe approximately ½ cup of cheesecake filling into each cup. Chill for 2–3 hours or until set.
Top with Cherries:
Once chilled, add about ¼ cup of cherry pie filling to the top of each parfait. Serve cold and enjoy!
