Sometimes the best desserts don’t take a lot of fuss and this easy delight is a shining example of that. It’s made up of just three components, requires no oven time at all, and yet the end result is still a sweet and creamy treat that tastes totally indulgent.

There are three layers here, and the first is one you commonly see in no-bake desserts – a graham cracker crust! But this isn’t just any graham cracker crust, it incorporates chopped pecans too for some nutty flavor. Once that’s pressed into a baking dish, you can get to making the filling…

… which is a simple but delicious combination of cream cheese, powdered sugar, and whipped topping. The cream cheese brings in a tangy silkiness while the whipped topping keeps things airy and light.

And the final topping? Well that’s just a can of cherry pie filling! It might seem like that could be a little too sugary-sweet but rest assured that the cheesecake-like filling below does a wonderful job of balancing it.

It’s a dessert that has it all – a buttery, crunchy base, an irresistible layer of silky cheesecake flavor, and the sweet syrupy bite of cherries. While this does take some chilling time, it takes very little effort to put together and when it comes to dessert, that’s always good news. It’s a delight to eat and a delight to make!
