What are Cherries in the Snow? It’s pretty much a super easy no-bake cherry cheesecake with a graham cracker crust. You are going to LOVE IT!! I have literally been craving it ever since I made it!!!! 
My nail tech Rhonda has become a close friend and we talk about EVERYTHING. Around the holidays, she mentioned some recipes she was going to make and it took me about 2.5 seconds to beg for the recipes – especially this one! 
 

What is Cherries in the Snow? 

Cherries in the Snow is a fancy fun name for a creamy delicious no-bake cheesecake. In it, you’ll find:

  • cream cheese
  • Cool Whip
  • powdered sugar
  • vanilla
  • chocolate cookie pie crust (or graham cracker)
  • can of cherry pie filling

How do you make Cherries in the Snow? 

It’s very simple – let’s walk through it!

  • Get out your cookie crust – you can make your own but I just like the Oreo crust from the store. You can also use a graham cracker crust if you’re wanting no chocolate.
  • In a mixing bowl, add together cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla and Cool Whip
  • Mix with a hand mixer
  • Pour into your pie crust
  • Top with a can of cherry pie filling
  • Chill for 4-5 hours – you can also freeze it for the 30-60 minutes before you serve to get super clean slices

The thing I like is that you can change it up to what you like! I used a chocolate cookie crust – but you could use a regular graham cracker crust or even a pecan crust. I used cool whip – but you could use dream whip. I used cherry pie filling but who says you can’t have blueberries in the snow with blueberry pie filling?!

This dessert is heavenly! I enjoyed every bite of the half of the pie that I kept for sure!

    I have been making this for so many years. My tip – take the time to whip heavy cream to substitute for the cool whip. Even better!

    This takes me back to my childhood! We only ever had traditional cheesecake but always with cherries on top. Can’t wait to make this one for my little family!
