Easy No-Bake Cherry Cheesecake Parfait

It’s cherry season here in Wisconsin (June-July), which means it’s time to break out the fresh cherries, cherry preserves, and/or cherry filling and make some desserts. One of my favorite recipes is to make this quick and easy No-Bake Cherry Cheesecake Parfait.

Now you could use fresh cherries for the filling–fresh pitted cherries cooked in a thickened sauce is one way–or you can use a prepared cherry tart filling to speed things up.

Either way, this recipe is so rich and creamy that you will want to it keep in your culinary pocket for impromptu guests or when you need a dessert on the fly.

For larger crowds you’ll want to double the recipe to make it match your guest count. Or you can stretch this recipe by making Mini-Cherry Cheesecake Parfait Shooters, instead.

This recipe, however, serves 4-6 comfortably. If you want make the cherry cheesecake parfait shooters, this will give you approximately 12 servings, because you will be using less filling in each glass.

But don’t stop there. I encourage you try some of my favorite variations listed below. Or better yet, make up your own combo!

Here are the ingredients to start with:

Clearbrook Farms Cherry Fruit • Tart | Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk | Keebler Graham Cracker Crumbs | Philadelphia Cream Cheese

First, in a blender add softened cream cheese and the sweetened condensed milk. Blend until smooth. Now you’re ready to assemble your parfait.

I like to start by layering about 2 tablespoons of graham cracker crumbs to the bottom of each parfait glass. Then following that with your cream cheese mixture, followed by a spoonful of filling.

You can layer this a couple of more times but be sure to finish with a little bit of cream cheese on top.

If you’d like to be super fancy, top your parfait with some fresh or canned whipped cream, like Reddi Whip Original Dairy Whipped Topping. This is optional, of course, but it really makes it look (and taste) pretty amazing.

More No-Bake Parfait Variations

I’ve shared with your my “cherry” version of this parfait but trust me there are more ways to enjoy the idea of parfait. Just substitute the cherry filling with a filling of your choice.
