We had an Empty Nester’s Potluck at our church back in June. I signed up to bring this delicious dessert. I had graham crackers in my pantry, Whipped Topping in one of my freezers, cheesecake pudding, cream cheese icing and cherry pie filling in my pantry and half-and-half in my refrigerator so I was ready to go.
The cheesecake flavor is very subtle–just a bear hint of flavor. Still, everyone raved and raved over this dessert. As it happened, the gal who was supposed to bring a Cherry Cheesecake that night didn’t show. So my dessert was the only one there! Thankfully, everyone cut servings into very small pieces so those who wanted to taste it, got a piece.
Most folks love those frothy, creamy, pudding type desserts anyway. They’re lighter after a heavy meal and this dessert was no exception. Usually Éclair Desserts only have the icing on the top layer. But I mixed it up a bit and added the Cherry Pie Filling to make this more in the image of cheesecake. Everyone swooned over the Cherry Pie Filling on top.
Cherry Cheesecake Éclair Dessert is easy to make and just the perfect dessert to make to wow your company, friends or family whenever you get together. I had this dessert whipped up in about 10 minutes and refrigerated it overnight to get it good and cold. Seriously, everyone drooled over it. You will too.

Here’s what I did.
I used these ingredients. I used only ONE can of cherry pie filling.
Pour Cheesecake Pudding Mix into a mixing bowl.
Add half-and-half.
Beat with an electric mixer until thick and creamy. I usually add the half-and-half about 1/2 cup at a time to avoid splatters all over the counter.
Add Whipped Topping.
Stir ingredients well to combine.
Spray a 9×13″ glass baking dish with cooking spray. Place one package of graham crackers into the bottom of the baking dish. You’ll need to break up the crackers to fit your size dish.
Spread half of the pudding mixture over top of the graham cracker layer. Be careful not to shift the graham crackers out of place by being too heavy handed.
Use another package of graham crackers and spread over top of the first Cheesecake Pudding layer.
Spread the remaining Cheesecake Pudding over top of the second layer of graham crackers. Then use the last package of graham crackers and carefully place them over top of the pudding.
Spread the Cream Cheese icing gently over top of the graham crackers.
Spread the icing to the edges of the baking dish.
Spread the Cherry Pie Filling over top of the Cream Cheese Icing. Refrigerate several hours or overnight before serving.
Serve and watch everyone gorge on this delicious dessert.
This easy six-ingredient recipe is so scrumptious.
