No-Bake Cherry Pie

If I had it my way, I’d enjoy this on a daily basis

Nothing screams summer in the Midwest like a big ol’ slice of cherry pie, am I right? But here’s the deal – not everyone has the time to roll out pie crusts and fuss with the oven, especially during those scorching summer days

That’s where this no-bake cherry pie recipe comes into play. It’s my go-to when I need a quick, cooling dessert that doesn’t skimp on that homemade, heartwarming taste.

This dish is a lifesaver for last-minute BBQs, potlucks, or when you just want to treat yourself without turning your kitchen into a sauna.

Now, as much as cherry pie can be a standalone star, it pairs beautifully with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

If you’re looking to add a little something on the side, a simple cup of coffee or iced tea makes this the perfect afternoon indulgence.
