Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 (1/4 ounce) package active dry yeast
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 (8 ounce) carton sour cream
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon finely shredded lemon peel
1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
cherry pie filling (optional)
chopped white chocolate (optional)

Steps:

  • Grease a 9-inch springform pan; set aside. In a large bowl combine 1-1/4 cups of the flour and the yeast; set aside.
  • In a small saucepan, heat and stir milk, 1/2 cup sugar, butter, and salt just until warm (120 degrees F to 130 degrees F) and butter almost melts. Add milk mixture and the 2 eggs to flour mixture. Beat with an electric mixer on low to medium speed for 30 seconds, scraping sides of bowl constantly. Beat on high speed for 3 minutes. Beat in as much of the remaining 1 cup flour as you can with the mixer. Stir in any remaining flour.
  • Transfer dough to prepared pan; spread evenly (dough will be sticky). Cover and let rise in a warm place until double in size (about 1 hour).
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon flour, and vanilla. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Stir in 1 egg and lemon peel; set aside. In another bowl, stir together the pie filling and almond extract. Spoon cherry mixture over dough in pan. Spoon cream cheese mixture over cherry mixture, spreading evenly.
  • Bake about 45 minutes or until center appears set when gently shaken. Cool in pan on a wire rack for 30 minutes. Using a small sharp knife, loosen crust from sides of pan; cool for 1 hour. Cover and chill at least 4 hours before serving. Remove sides of pan just before serving. If desired, spoon additional cherry pie filling on top and garnish with chopped white chocolate.

This cherry cheesecake kuchen is the best I've ever had. The cheesecake filling is creamy and smooth, and the crust is flaky and buttery. The cherries add a delicious tartness that balances out the sweetness of the cheesecake. I highly recommend this

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my kuchen turned out dry and bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

This cherry cheesecake kuchen was a disappointment. The cheesecake filling was dense and crumbly, and the crust was soggy. I won't be making this recipe again.

This recipe is a keeper! I've made it several times now and it's always a hit. The cheesecake filling is creamy and smooth, and the crust is flaky and buttery. I love that I can make it ahead of time and it still tastes great.

I had some trouble getting the crust to brown evenly, but the kuchen still tasted delicious. I'll try using a different baking pan next time.

This kuchen was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my family loved it. I think next time I'll use less sugar in the cheesecake filling.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of cheesecake, but I'm so glad I did! The crust was amazing and the cheesecake filling was light and fluffy. I'll definitely be making this again.

This cherry cheesecake kuchen is my new favorite dessert. It's the perfect balance of sweet and tart, and the crust is to die for.
