No Bake Cherry Cheesecake

This delicious no bake cheesecake was my favorite dessert as a kid. We had it every Christmas at my aunt's house. She alternated between cherry topping and blueberry, either way I always loved it and couldn't wait for a slice.

No Bake Cherry Cheesecake
This is not a thick and dense cheesecake...it is fluffy and cloud-like with a graham cracker crust.

1 cup crushed graham crackers
8 T melted butter
1/2 cup sugar
2 pouches Dream Whip
1 cup milk
2 8 oz packages cream cheese softened
1 cup powdered sugar

Mix graham crackers and sugar in a medium bowl. Add melted butter and mix with a fork until combined. Press into the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 9-10 minutes. Cool completely.
In a mixer, using paddle attachment, whip cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar. In a separate bowl whip dream whip and milk until stiff. Fold dream whip mixture into cream cheese mixture. Spread evenly onto cooled crust.
Top with cherry filling. Enjoy!
