THE BEST CHERRY CHEESECAKE



The Best Cherry Cheesecake image

This is the best cherry cheese cake I've ever tasted! It's light, creamy and delicious. The recipe was given to me years ago and it's a staple dessert at our house. The recipe serves four but I double it and use a 9"x13" dish which serves 8-10.This is the first dessert to go at potlucks and I am repeatedly asked for the recipe.

Provided by Carrie Ann

Categories     Cheesecake

Time 55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup melted butter (I use a little bit more)
1/4 cup white sugar
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 envelope Dream Whip, whipped
2 tablespoons milk
1 can cherry pie filling

Steps:

  • CRUST: Mix together graham cracker crumbs, sugar and melted butter.
  • Press into bottom of 8"x8" pan.
  • Bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes; then cool.
  • FILLING: Cream cheese and vanilla together until light.
  • Add whipped topping and milk and beat until well mixed.
  • Pour into pan and chill.
  • Spread cherry pie filling over cheese layer and chill well.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cherries: Fresh cherries provide the best flavor and texture for this cheesecake. If you can't find fresh cherries, frozen cherries can be used as a substitute.
  • Pit the cherries: Before using the cherries, be sure to pit them. A cherry pitter can make this task easier.
  • Use a springform pan: A springform pan is the best type of pan to use for this cheesecake because it allows you to easily remove the cheesecake from the pan after it has cooled.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough cheesecake. Mix 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.
  • Chill the cheesecake before serving: After the cheesecake has baked, chill it for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the cheesecake to set properly.

Conclusion:

This cherry cheesecake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of the sweet cherries and the creamy cheesecake is irresistible. With its classic flavor and stunning presentation, this cheesecake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
