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.

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 for Making the Best Cherry Cheesecake:

  • Use fresh cherries: Fresh cherries provide the best flavor and texture for your cheesecake. If you can't find fresh cherries, you can use frozen or canned cherries, but be sure to thaw and drain them before using.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened: Softened cream cheese will mix more smoothly and evenly with the other ingredients, resulting in a creamy and lump-free cheesecake.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can cause the cheesecake to be dense and crumbly. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Bake the cheesecake in a water bath: Baking the cheesecake in a water bath helps to prevent the cheesecake from cracking and overbaking.
  • Chill the cheesecake before serving: Chilling the cheesecake allows the flavors to meld and the cheesecake to set properly. It's best to chill the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight.

Conclusion:

A cherry cheesecake is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy cheesecake filling, sweet cherry topping, and buttery graham cracker crust, it's a dessert that everyone will love. By following these tips, you can make the best cherry cheesecake that is sure to impress your friends and family.
