Time 1h30m

Yield 1 cheesecake, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup graham cracker crumbs
3 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons melted butter
4 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese (softened)
1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons flour
4 eggs
1 cup sour cream
1 (8 ounce) container mascarpone
2 teaspoons sugar
1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling

Steps:

  • Preheat over to 350f.
  • Mix together graham cracker crumbs, 3 tbs sugar and melted butter. Press into bottom of a tall 9" springform pan.
  • Mix the cream cheese, sugar and flour thoroughly, then add agges one at a time. Beat in sour cream, and whip until completely mixed and place into pan.
  • Put the springform pan with the cheesecake on a cookie sheet and add 1/2 inch of water to the cookie sheet. This will help prevent the cheesecake from cracking as it cooks. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
  • Turn off oven and crack door open, leaving cheesecake inside oven until cool.
  • Topping: Whip the mascarpone and sugar, and top the cheesecake. Once the layer is put on the cheesecake, add the cherry pie filling on top. Place in fridge overnight.
  • NOTE: You can use the pre-made graham cracker crumb pie pans that you get at the store, but if you do, the filling will make three pies, and only bake 50-55 minutes. You also need to double the topping quantity for the three pies.

This cheesecake was a disaster! The crust was soggy and the cheesecake filling was runny. I don't know what went wrong.

The cheesecake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but the crust was perfect. I would probably use less sugar next time.

This was my first time making a cheesecake and it turned out great! I followed the recipe exactly and it was easy to do. The cheesecake was delicious and everyone loved it.

I've made this cheesecake several times and it always turns out perfect. The crust is flaky and buttery, the cheesecake filling is smooth and creamy, and the cherry topping is delicious. It's a crowd-pleaser for sure.

This cheesecake was a hit at my party! The cherry topping was the perfect touch of sweetness and tartness. The cheesecake itself was creamy and decadent. I will definitely be making this again.
