Everyone will love this, but I also agree you need to whip the cream cheese mixture for at least 10 minutes, it sounds crazy but it really makes a huge difference. And drain everything very well before adding it. I used to make this a lot and couldn't find the recipe so looked it up....can't wait to make it for the weekend.

Awesome recipe. I did not use a graham cracker crust...but instead used Delta Airline cookies, which are very similar to ginger snaps. It was awesome. When you are adding the final touches (the whipped cream, fruit and syrups) work quickly or freeze in stages. The toppings begin to run a little if not cold enough. Enjoy!

First off, the crust is missing an important ingredient and step. It needs about 1/3 cup of sugar mixed into the crushed graham cracker crumbs and it should be baked at 350 for about 10 minutes. This will set it up so it doesn't fall apart when cut. Let the crust cool completely before putting in the cream cheese mixture. Also, to fill up the pan, I used 3 8 oz. cubes of cream cheese, but the same amount of sugar called for. And I used more cherries on the top and left off the pecans. I didn't feel it needed the nuts. And I sliced the bananas and completely covered the cream cheese with the slices and used a larger can of pineapple. Very sweet but very good.

The biggest merit to this recipe is simplicity and popularity with a wide variety of people! It's a great party dessert and I have made it several times to take to "pot luck" type events.... It goes quickly and everyone love it! I do make minor changes to the basic recipe as it is very flexible and forgiving. I do agree with the person who said that it is probably best to describe it as a "dessert" rather than a "cheesecake"... but calling it a "no-bake cheesecake" is probably a good compromise... It does have that nice "cheesy" taste from the cream cheese, but doesn't have the texture you get in a standard baked cheesecake. Nevertheless, it is really tasty and because it's so sweet - most people really seem to like it. I recommend it if you are looking for something a little different to take to a pot luck. PS You do need to plan on chilling it for at least the recommended four hours, and I would recommend eight... hold off on the chocolate syrup and cherries until just before you serve or "tote" it out the door! The syrup will run and look unattractive. An alternative is to swirl the choc syrup lighly into the top of the whipped topping so that it doesn't run so much. Enjoy!

This recipe is wonderful! I do make some changes though. First, I use oreo cookies and blend them smooth and mix with butter to make the crust. I usually use 1.5 times the filling to make a 9x13 size as this goes very quickly. I almost always leave out the whip topping and if I do use it I use ready whip. I have sent this to my husband's work and it was the first thing gone. I have never had anyone say they didn't like it, even children will eat the fruit just to get to the cake & cookies!

This was fantastic!Used two graham cracker pie crusts, fit great. I used all the sugar and it didn't seem too overwhelming, but may use less since others have with success. I think strawberries would be a great addition! Definitely put the cherries on a paper towel before placing on top.

I make this one all the time, probably 40 times, at least. For pot lucks, parties, Christmas, Thanksgiving, school functions. I always get tons of compliments on this recipe. I've learned to use more butter when making the crust, it comes together better with more butter. I also use twice the amount of pinapple. When I put the cherries on top, I set them out on a paper towel first and kind of dap the juice out a bit so that the juice doesn't turn the whip topping red. This is my favorite dessert to make.

This was great. I used half the powdered sugar and added strawberry syrup also. It was perfect. I can imagine with more powdered sugar it would be to sweet.

I feel like it's kind of misleading to call this a cheesecake, but the recipe is tasty. I love sweet things so I loved it, but if you don't LOVE sugar you may find this one a bit much. Overall, very good!

This is the best summer dessert! My only suggestion is to freeze the graham cracker crust before spreading the cream cheese layer. Makes it SO much easier to spread!

I've made this several times and it has become the most requested dessert at family gatherings. Like everyone else, I too have made some changes. For one, it is way too sweet as is, so I cut the sugar in half. I also added strawberries to the layer. I prefer this spooned into cups rather than serving it as a pie. Everyone in my family enjoys it this way as well. I found that if you wanted it to set well, all you have to do, once you have the graham cracker crust and cream cheese mixture in, let it sit in the freezer for at least thirty minutes before adding the rest of the layers. This worked well when I wanted to serve it as a pie rather than the spooned version. Great recipie, thanks.
