When I was a little girl, Grandma, whom we called Mamaw, brought this cheesecake to every church or family pot luck I can ever remember attending. It was everyone's favorite. So yummy!

An easy cheesecake that will serve a crowd. While the recipe is called no-bake, you do have to bake the buttery graham cracker crust. The no-bake cheesecake part is super creamy and pairs perfectly with the cherry topping. This cheesecake recipe makes a large pan and has plenty of servings. A great dessert option for summer parties and potlucks.
