My mother often made this lovely fruit-topped cheese-cake. Now our grown sons consider it my "signature dessert". Sometimes, I bake and freeze the cheesecake ahead. On the day I serve it, I thaw it, then add the fruit. -Christine Eilerts Tulsa, Oklahoma

CHERRY CHEESECAKE

When I worked full-time and needed a quick dessert to take to a potluck or a friend's home, this pie was always the answer. You can substitute a graham cracker crust or use another type of fruit pie filling for a change of pace. Even the chilling time is flexible if you're in a big hurry. -Mary Smith Bradenton, Florida

CHERRY CHEESECAKE



Cherry Cheesecake image

This recipe has overturned a lifetime's prejudice - which is good, but unsettling. I had always been a committed believer that the only true cheesecake was the proper, baked cheesecake, but now I'm not so sure. This improper, unbaked cheesecake, feature of many a 1970s dessert trolley, has entirely won me over. It's light, it has tang, it is rapturously good. The fact that it is speedily easy to make is more reason for general hilarity and joy. Even in the spirit of retro-accuracy, please do not be tempted to open a jar of cherry pie filling over the cake. I use some French cherry concoction that seems to be pretty universally available and has no added sugar, but anything labelled 'conserve' as opposed to 'jam' should be safe. And, if you feel like it, when cherries are in season, rather strew the top with a couple of handfuls of beautiful fruit.

Categories     dessert

Time 3h20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
2 tablespoons sugar
3/4 stick soft unsalted butter
10 ounces cream cheese
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1 cup heavy cream
1 (10-ounce) jar black cherry spread (recommended: St Dalfour Rhapsodie de Fruit)

Steps:

  • Blitz the biscuits in a food processor until beginning to turn to crumbs, then add the sugar and butter and whiz again to make the mixture clump. If using graham cracker crumbs, you can use a bowl and wooden spoon to mix the butter in, with the sugar added.
  • Press this mixture into a 8-inch springform tin; press a little up the sides to form a slight ridge.
  • Beat together the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla and lemon juice in a bowl until smooth.
  • Lightly whip the cream, and then fold it into the cream cheese mixture.
  • Spoon the cheesecake filling on top of the biscuit base and smooth with a spatula, put it in the refrigerator for 3 hours or overnight.
  • When you are ready to serve the cheesecake, un-mold and spread the black cherry spread over the top.

Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • Use fresh cherries: Fresh cherries are the best choice for this cheesecake, as they have a sweeter and more intense flavor than frozen or canned cherries. If you can't find fresh cherries, you can use frozen or canned cherries, but be sure to thaw and drain them before using.
  • Pit the cherries: Before using the cherries, be sure to pit them. You can use a cherry pitter to make this task easier.
  • Use a springform pan: A springform pan is the best type of pan to use for this cheesecake, as it allows you to easily remove the cheesecake from the pan after it has been baked.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cheesecake tough. Be sure to mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cheesecake in a water bath: Baking the cheesecake in a water bath helps to prevent the cheesecake from cracking. To create a water bath, place the springform pan inside a larger roasting pan and fill the roasting pan with hot water.
  • Chill the cheesecake before serving: The cheesecake needs to be chilled for at least 4 hours before serving. This allows the cheesecake to set and firm up.

Conclusion:

This cherry cheesecake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The cheesecake has a creamy and tangy filling that is complemented perfectly by the sweet and juicy cherries. The graham cracker crust provides a sturdy and flavorful base for the cheesecake. If you are looking for a classic cheesecake recipe that is sure to impress, this cherry cheesecake is the perfect choice.
