Hello! It’s Kathy from Beyond the Chicken Coop! Summer will be here before we know it and while I always think there will be time to slow down, I find I’m busier than ever. And as much as I love baking, it’s the last thing I want to do on hot summer days. This No Bake Cherry Delight is one of my go-to desserts during the summer. I love this dessert for so many reasons; it’s fast, it’s versatile, and it’s always a favorite with everyone.
No Bake Cherry Delight ~ 9×13 Pan Dessert
When I was a kid, my mom made this family favorite during the summer often. This recipe can easily be doubled or quadrupled. My mom has made No Bake Cherry Delight for groups of 20. I like to make my own cherry pie filling and whipped cream from scratch, but if you are short on time or just love the convenience, you can use Cool Whip and canned pie filling. It’s all up to you. This dessert will turn out amazing no matter how you make it!

Recipe calls for sugar, and no where can I find how much sugar is used in this recipe. Can you help?
Sure! So, in the recipe, you’ll notice she says you can use ready-made Cool Whip or make your own whipped cream. You only need sugar if you’re making your own whipped cream. In the ingredients section: 1 cup heavy cream plus 1 Tablespoon sugar, or 2 cups ready made whipped cream (Cool Whip) Hope that helps!
