With a coconut graham cracker crust and rich and creamy filling, this coconut cheesecake is the ideal cheesecake for anyone who loves coconut.
At this point, my neighbors and family members all know to expect me to show up at their door on a pretty regular basis with baked goods.
Don’t get me wrong: my immediate family loves eating the recipes I make, but there’s only so much we can eat in a week.
I think my neighbors get extra excited when it’s a cheesecake testing week. Whether it’s banana pudding cheesecake, caramel apple cheesecake, or this coconut cheesecake, they are all happy to take a slice or two off my hands.
So I guess it’s a good thing that I can’t get enough of riffing on my vanilla cheesecake recipe. If you love cheesecake as much as my neighbors and I do, you’ve come to the right place.

There are some recipes I make for this site that come together super fast. I test them once or twice and they work flawlessly.
Then there are other recipes that take a lot of work. And a lot of testing. Like, a lot of testing.
This eggnog cheesecake is one of those recipes. I started working on it a year ago, but couldn’t get it quite right, so I put it on hold until I could get eggnog again.
After a few more tests and tweaks, I finally got it just right. I wanted a cheesecake with a silky-smooth filling and subtle eggnog flavor, paired with a stronger-flavored eggnog whipped cream.
I was so excited when I finally nailed this recipe. It’s a delicious cheesecake, perfect for serving at your holiday party or Christmas dinner. You’re gonna love it.

If you’ve been around here for a while, you know how much I love cheesecake. Cheesecake recipes are some of my very favorite things to make.
And one of my favorite types is cherry cheesecake. It’s such a classic, and there’s just something special about the combination of tangy, silky cheesecake and sweet cherries.
But I don’t always have the time or energy to make a fully cheesecake from scratch, so that’s when I like to come up with ways to get those same flavors with a lot less effort.
That’s where this layered cherry cheesecake dessert comes in. It’s cool, creamy, and delicious, and looks totally fancy with all of the pretty layers.
WHAT IS LAYERED CHERRY CHEESECAKE DESSERT?
Yes, I’m back with another layered dessert. You had to know it was going to happen!
These layered desserts are so much fun. They’re easy to make and look so impressive since you can see all of the layers in every slice.
They’re also what I call a “low-bake” dessert – once you’re done baking the crust (which only takes 15 minutes), everything else is no-bake. Perfect for days when you don’t want to have your oven on for hours at a time.
This version has the same cookie-like crust as my layered lemon dessert and the rest follows a similar pattern to my layered pistachio pudding dessert: a fluffy cream cheese layer followed by a cheesecake pudding layer, then a layer of cherry pie filling and a final layer of whipped topping.
It’s got all of the tangy goodness of cherry cheesecake with a fraction of the work.
HOW TO MAKE THIS RECIPE
Don’t let the multiple layers fool you – this layered cherry cheesecake dessert is simple to make! Let’s talk about it.
Ingredients and substitutions
For this recipe, you will need:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
pinch of salt
8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1 cup powdered sugar
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
16 ounces frozen whipped topping (Cool Whip or TruWhip), thawed
Not a fan of whipped topping? That’s ok. You can use stabilized whipped cream frosting instead.
I don’t recommend using plain whipped cream as it doesn’t hold up as well over time, but the stabilized whipped cream frosting will handle the chilling time really well.
I also usually just grab a couple of cans of cherry pie filling at the store to make this dessert super quick and easy. I usually look for the brands that have “extra cherries” in them.
To make sure your crust turns out perfect every time, make sure you know how to measure flour correctly before you get started.
You will want your butter and cream cheese to be at room temperature for making the crust. If you forget to set them out ahead of time, check out some of my tips for how to soften butter and how to soften cream cheese.
Don’t stress if you run out of powdered sugar. I have instructions on how to make powdered sugar – feel free to use that substitute when making the cream cheese layer in this cherry cheesecake dessert!
Making layered cherry cheesecake dessert
The first layer for this layered cherry cheesecake dessert is the crust.
Line a 13×9-inch pan with parchment paper and give it a spritz with some nonstick spray.
Use a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment to mix together the flour, butter, granulated sugar, and salt until combined. The mixture will be crumbly – that’s ok.
Press the crust mixture into the lined pan using your hands or the bottom of a measuring cup. Once the dough is pressed into an even layer, bake it for 15 minutes, or until golden. Let the crust cool completely before moving on to the next step.
For the cream cheese layer, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla together with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Switch to a rubber spatula and fold in half of the whipped topping, then spread this over the crust.
For the pudding layer, whisk together both of the pudding mixes and the milk. Let this thicken for about 5 minutes before spreading it over the cream cheese layer.
Spread the cherry pie filling over the pudding layer, then top the whole thing with the rest of the whipped topping.
Cover and refrigerate the entire thing for at least 6 hours before cutting and serving.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine flour, butter, sugar and salt until combined – mixture will be crumbly.

Remove pan from oven and to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Once the crust layer has cooled completely, prepare the cream cheese layer by beating the cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth and creamy. Use a rubber spatula to fold in an 8-ounce container of whipped topping. Evenly spread the cream cheese mixture on top of the crust.
Next, whisk together the pudding mixes and milk and allow the mixture to thicken for about 5 minutes before spreading on top of the cream cheese layer.
Add the cherry pie filling and spread evenly over the pudding.
Finally, top with an 8-ounce container of whipped topping. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours.
