CLASSIC NEW YORK STYLE CHERRY CHEESECAKE image

Make this creamy, luscious, crack-free, not-too-sweet, cheesecake without a water bath. The hardest part is waiting for it to set overnight in the oven, and then in the fridge, before diving into this self-indulgent dessert.

Time 1h10m

Yield 16 , 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup graham cracker crumbs or 1 cup crumbled digestive biscuit
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tablespoon sugar
2 lbs cream cheese, room temperature
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon vanilla or 1 sachet vanilla sugar
3/4 cup heavy cream
4 eggs
1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling

Steps:

  • FOR THE CRUST: Preheat oven to 400 °F (200 °C). In a large springform pan (10 inches or 26 cm in diameter), mix crumbs, melted butter and sugar well together. Press firmly onto bottom of pan. Bake for 5-7 minutes or until golden brown. Set aside. NOTE: The crust recipe can be doubled if you also wish to have a crust on the side of the cheesecake.
  • FOR THE FILLING: In a medium bowl, mix together cream cheese, flour, sugar, vanilla and heavy cream with an electric mixer on low speed until well blended. Beat in eggs, one at a time, beating just until combined after each addition (don't overmix the batter).
  • Pour batter into prepared springform pan and bake at 400 °F (200 °C) for 10 minutes and then reduce the temperature to 300 °F (150 °C). Continue baking for another 40 minutes.
  • After the baking time is up, gently shake the pan back and forth. The cheesecake should be evenly baked through and uniformly wobbly, but if only the centre is wobbly (about the size of a baseball or roughly 10 cm), it is also fine. Remove cheesecake from oven and carefully run a knife along the edge to loosen the cheesecake from the pan. Place it back in the oven with the heat turned off. Leave the cheesecake over night, with the oven door shut. Put the cheesecake in the fridge the next day for a minimum of 4 hours and up to 24 hours. Top with cherry pie filling or your favourite topping before serving.
  • MAKES 12-16 SLICES (depending on how thick you slice them).

This cheesecake was a disaster. The crust was soggy and the filling was curdled.

I found this cheesecake to be a bit too dense, but the flavor was good.

This cheesecake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good.

This cheesecake was so easy to make and it turned out so well! I was worried that the sour cherries would be too tart, but they were actually the perfect complement to the creamy cheesecake filling.

I'm not a huge fan of cheesecake, but this one was really good. The crust was nice and crispy and the filling was light and fluffy. I especially liked the sour cherry topping.

This cheesecake is divine! The crust is perfectly graham crackery and the filling is creamy and smooth. The sour cherries add a lovely tartness that balances out the sweetness of the cheesecake. I'll definitely be making this again.
