This is easy and yummy. I usually use sugar-free pudding mix (4 serving size), 1/3 less fat cream cheese and lite Cool Whip. I have, instead of pie filling, drizzled chocolate syrup over top and onto the plate to decorate pie... delicious as well. :)

Blue Ribbon Recipe

If you love cheesecake but don't like the work of baking one, then this recipe is for you. We loved this cool and creamy no-bake cheesecake. The pudding adds a punch of flavor to the filling. Whipped topping makes it fluffy and creamy. We chose to top this with blueberry pie filling and it was delicious. Joelle leaves the topping option open to preference, so go with what you like. Cherry would be great too! This is the perfect dessert for summer when you don't want to heat up the kitchen.
