Need a cool dessert that’s easy to make? Creamy No-Bake Black Forest Pie has layers of creamy deliciousness with cherry pie filling!

Creamy No-Bake Black Forest Pie

We’re debuting this delicious Creamy No-Bake Black Forest Pie. today.  This dessert is our contribution to the 30 Day Recipe Challenge.  We absolutely love this challenge with our blogging friends and couldn’t have been happier when it was decided that NO-BAKE desserts were to be featured this month.

With the heat of summer sweltering down upon us, no-bake dessert creations are where it’s at! Don’t worry about heating up the kitchen in order to serve a yummy treat, make a no-bake version and get outside and enjoy the weather.

In past sessions of the 30 Day Recipe Challenge, we shared such yummy recipes as Creamy Lemon Layered Pie, Homestyle Chicken Noodle Soup, and Glazed Strawberry Lemon Yogurt Loaf. Now be sure to check out the other tasty no-bake desserts from our blogging friends, you’ll find links located at the very bottom of this post.

No-Bake desserts are truly just a gift when it is hot, humid and miserable outside. With a few simple ingredients, you can create something just as luscious as this Creamy No-Bake Black Forest Pie. I’ve had a crazy busy past few weeks, knowing that I can throw a dessert together in a short amount of time and skip heating up the kitchen…ow that makes me smile.

Essentially this pie is a no-bake cheesecake, with 2 yummy layers. Sandwiched in between the layers of cheesecake you’ll find sweet cherry pie filling hiding in there. You can serve this with a spoonful (or more) of additional cherry pie filling on top or not, it is completely up to you. I stumbled upon this easy recipe years ago in a Taste of Home magazine, perfect summertime dessert.

There’s absolutely nothing complicated about this dessert. It can be prepared and placed in your fridge/freezer in roughly 10 minutes. Deliciously simple, don’t you love that?
