With the holiday weekend fast approaching, you might be on the lookout for a quick and easy no bake dessert.
If you are, this fruity cheesecake pie is your answer!
Super easy because it's made with just a few ingredients and a store-bought premade graham cracker crust.
Quick because you just whip all the ingredients together and chill. The fruit flavor comes from a 10oz. jar of all fruit spread, so you can customize it however you like! I used apricot spread here because that is what I picked up at the store, but any flavor would work. The possibilities are endless.
Note: This cheesecake pie is on the soft side, even after it sets up, so you will want to keep it refrigerated until it's time to slice and eat it.
Quick, easy and yummy. I will definitely be experimenting with other flavors, maybe even combine some flavors next time and add some fresh fruit.

DeleteLovely words to close your post Renee!! :) Thank you for that, and for this fantastic looking recipe!
ReplyDeletethanks Roz! Have a great weekend!
DeleteI once created a pie like this with strawberry jelly but unfortunately didn't use an all-fruit one and it was a little fakish--like too sweet or something. I fixed the soft-set by dissolving a pack of unflavored gelatin in 1/4 cup boiling water and letting it cool a bit before adding into the filling mixture-worked like a charm! This sounds utterly delish--I never had an apricot pie of any sort!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a great fix to help it set up better V. Thanks for sharing!!
DeleteI love anything with a graham cracker crust! We don't have t.v. at my step-sons house, but we were out yesterday and saw the videos of the destruction in Oklahoma - so sad!
ReplyDeleteHow easy! I love it. Have a great holiday weekend!
