It’s official the heat’s coming to town. You all know what that means, right? It’s time to turn on the air conditioner. Once the a/c goes on, it doesn’t get turned off until October or November. Yuck! It’s horrible that we have to run the a/c that long, but there’s no way around it.

Once the heat comes around I know it’s time to pull out those easy recipes. It’s just to hot to be in the kitchen for any length of time. I have a pile of recipes that I always make every summer and this No Bake Cherry Delight was added a while ago. It’s perfect when you’re craving something sweet, but don’t want to fuss in the kitchen for ever.

This recipe is super easy to make too. The only down fall is you need to make it a day in advance. You need to make sure that the crumb mixture and cream cheese mixture have enough time to set. Other than that, this is one scrumptious dessert.

Some other things you need to remember before making this:

  • Have your cream cheese at room temperature.
  • Make sure you press down that crumb mixture. You want it packed tight.
  • Don’t put the cherry pie filling until your ready to eat or serve.
  • You can totally make this recipe a day or two in advance.
