Instructions
Start by beating the softened cream cheese in a large mixing bowl with an electric or hand mixer until light and fluffy.
Slowly add sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla. Mix until fully incorporated.
Then pour the cream cheese mixture into the graham cracker crust. Use a rubber spatula to make an even layer.
Chill in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours or until fully set.
When you're ready to serve, take the can of cherry pie filling out of the fridge and spoon the pie topping onto the top of the cheesecake pie. Top it with a scoop of Cool Whip or whipped cream, and enjoy!

Notes
Remember to get your cream cheese out of the fridge to soften at least 30 minutes to an hour before you plan to use it.
Since this is a no-bake cheesecake, it doesn't get as firm as a traditional cheesecake. It has a soft, creamy texture. If you want it firmer, try placing it in the freezer for an hour or so.
REFRIGERATOR - Keep it covered tightly with plastic wrap or store it in an airtight container, so the crust doesn't get soggy. It will last in the fridge for up to five days, but we like to eat it in 2-3 days.FREEZER: Once the pie has set, you can also freeze this no-bake cherry pie for up to 3 months before you add the cherry pie topping. Just wrap the cheesecake in plastic wrap, then aluminum foil, and store it in the freezer.Nutritional information is approximate and was calculated using a recipe nutrition label generator and will vary based on cooking methods and brands of ingredients used.
