CHERRY CHEESECAKE DESSERT

My mother often made this lovely fruit-topped cheese-cake. Now our grown sons consider it my "signature dessert". Sometimes, I bake and freeze the cheesecake ahead. On the day I serve it, I thaw it, then add the fruit. -Christine Eilerts Tulsa, Oklahoma

CHERRY CHEESECAKE



Cherry Cheesecake image

This recipe has overturned a lifetime's prejudice - which is good, but unsettling. I had always been a committed believer that the only true cheesecake was the proper, baked cheesecake, but now I'm not so sure. This improper, unbaked cheesecake, feature of many a 1970s dessert trolley, has entirely won me over. It's light, it has tang, it is rapturously good. The fact that it is speedily easy to make is more reason for general hilarity and joy. Even in the spirit of retro-accuracy, please do not be tempted to open a jar of cherry pie filling over the cake. I use some French cherry concoction that seems to be pretty universally available and has no added sugar, but anything labelled 'conserve' as opposed to 'jam' should be safe. And, if you feel like it, when cherries are in season, rather strew the top with a couple of handfuls of beautiful fruit.

Time 3h20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
2 tablespoons sugar
3/4 stick soft unsalted butter
10 ounces cream cheese
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1 cup heavy cream
1 (10-ounce) jar black cherry spread (recommended: St Dalfour Rhapsodie de Fruit)

Steps:

  • Blitz the biscuits in a food processor until beginning to turn to crumbs, then add the sugar and butter and whiz again to make the mixture clump. If using graham cracker crumbs, you can use a bowl and wooden spoon to mix the butter in, with the sugar added.
  • Press this mixture into a 8-inch springform tin; press a little up the sides to form a slight ridge.
  • Beat together the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla and lemon juice in a bowl until smooth.
  • Lightly whip the cream, and then fold it into the cream cheese mixture.
  • Spoon the cheesecake filling on top of the biscuit base and smooth with a spatula, put it in the refrigerator for 3 hours or overnight.
  • When you are ready to serve the cheesecake, un-mold and spread the black cherry spread over the top.

Provided by Kiano Moju

Categories     Desserts

Time 40m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup sugar
¼ cup cornstarch
⅓ cup water
1 tablespoon lemon juice
40 oz canned cherry, drained
1 teaspoon almond extract
25 chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
40 oz cream cheese
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup heavy cream
fresh berry, for decoration

Steps:

  • Add the sugar and cornstarch to a large saucepan and whisk until combined. Stir in the water and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, whisking until the sugar has dissolved, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until a thick syrup forms and turns golden, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the cherries and cook for another 2-3 minutes until syrup has thickened. Turn off the heat and stir in the almond extract. Set aside to cool.
  • Line an 8-inch (20 cm) springform pan with plastic wrap. Transfer the cherry filling to the pan and spread evenly. Freeze for 2-3 hours, until firm.
  • Combine the crushed cookies with the melted butter in a medium bowl until well-combined.
  • Transfer the cookie crumb mixture to a 10-inch (25 cm) springform pan. Use a spatula or measuring cup to press the cookie crumbs down to form an even base. Freeze for 10 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract together with an electric hand mixer until combined.
  • Add the heavy cream and beat for another 2-3 minutes until combined and fluffy.
  • Spread half the cheesecake mixture over the chilled cookie crust. Freeze for 10 minutes.
  • Unwrap the cherry pie filling, and place it on top of the set cheesecake layer. Cover with the remaining cheesecake batter, spreading until smooth on top.
  • Decorate with fresh berries.
  • Chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours before slicing and serving.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • For a richer cheesecake filling, use a combination of cream cheese and sour cream.
  • If you don't have a springform pan, you can use a regular 9-inch pie plate. Just be sure to trim the excess crust around the edges.
  • To prevent the cheesecake from cracking, bake it in a water bath. This will help to create a moist and creamy cheesecake.
  • Let the cheesecake cool completely before serving. This will help it to set properly.
  • For a fancier presentation, top the cheesecake with fresh cherries, whipped cream, or a cherry pie filling.

Conclusion:

Cherry cheesecake is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious cherry cheesecake that will impress your friends and family.
