Oatmeal Cream Cherry Cheesecake

 



When I saw this recipe, I knew it would be a fun time with my granddaughters!  This is a dessert that is yummy and requires no baking and no power mixers!  It's super child friendly and no heating up the kitchen!  It took me 11 minutes to put it together then chilled it for 3 hours.  That's IT!  So yummy and make ahead easy!  Total cost around $12.00 and serves at 10-12 desserts!  I hope you enjoy this as much as we did!

You'll need:

3 boxes of Oatmeal Cream Pies (24 total cookie sandwiches)

1 can of cherry pie filling

1 large tub of Philadelphia Brand No Bake Cheesecake filling

Line the bottom of a springform pan with flattened cream pies.  Use a glass bottom or your hands to press down the pies to from a complete crust on the bottom and sides of the pan.  If you have a gap, just tear a pie in half and smash it in there!

Using 1/2 of the container of cheesecake filling, smooth it into the bottom of the cookie crust.  Top with  more cream pies press down slightly to pack them.  Add another 1/2 tub to top layer of the second later of cookies. Add a third layer of cookies (this may not be total coverage but that's okay).  Press lightly to pack the cookies down.  Top with the cherry pie filling

Chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours.  Crumble the remaining cookies to create a crumb topping.  Chill for another hour then release from the springform pan, slice and serve!

You can change out the pie filling to something of your choosing.  Strawberry or blueberry would be excellent.  Your flavor choice is fine!
