Cooking web notes

We absolutely love homemade cheesecake here at our home. My hubby is a fan of Cherry Cheesecake and I am a fan of Strawberry Cheesecake. People often think that making a homemade cheesecake is difficult but that is a falsehood in my opinion. Once you make one cheesecake you will see how easy and delicous it really is!



Cherry Cheesecake Recipe



2 eggs

1/2 c. sugar

2 tsp. vanilla extract

1 1/2 c. sour cream

2 pkgs. (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened and cut in pieces

2 Tbsp. melted butter

graham cracker crumb crust

1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling



Graham Cracker Crust



1 c. graham cracker crumbs, break up graham crackers until you have 1 cup.

1/2 c. sugar

1/4 c. melted butter



Combine graham cracker crumb crust ingredients in a medium sized bowl. Press into a 9inch pie pan. Bake at 400° for 6 minutes. Cool before filling. Prepare cheesecake pie filling. Beat together eggs, sugar, vanilla, and sour cream in a large bowl. Gradually add cream cheese, beating well. Beat in melted butter. Pour cheese mixture into 9-inch prepared and baked graham cracker crust. Bake cherry cheesecake pie at 325° for 35 minutes, or until set in center. Will firm up as it cools. Top with cherry pie filling. I like to put mine into my Tupperware Pie Storer as it has a seal/lid which doesn't smash my cheesecake and then I place it into the refrigerator for 2-3 hours before serving it.
