No-Bake WV Cherry Cheesecake

Graham Cracker Crust:

• 1 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs

• 1/4 cup margarine, softened

• 1/4 cup sugar

Filling:

• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese

• 1 cup powdered sugar

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1 cup heavy cream, whipped

• 1 - 20oz West Virginia Fruit & Berry - Cherry Preserves 

• Mix together graham cracker crumbs, margarine, and sugar in a bowl until well incorporated and crumbly. Press into a pie plate, going up the sides as much as possible.

• Beat together the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla in a bowl until smooth and spreadable. Whisk whipped cream into cream cheese mixture until smooth. Pour cream cheese into prepared crust. Smooth the top with a spatula, and refrigerate until firm, about 2 to 3 hours. Spread our Cherry Preserves over the top and refrigerate until serving. 

Note: Use as little or as much preserves as desired. Some like more, some like less. 

Enjoy!
