Categories     Cheesecake

Time 40m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 prepared graham cracker crust (I use Keebler)
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 can cherry pie filling (I use Comstock)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Place the cream cheese in a bowl in the microwave.
  • Microwave it on the defrost setting for a couple of minutes to slightly soften the cream cheese (This is so that you don't kill your mixer when beating the cream cheese).
  • Add sugar to cream cheese and beat it with an electric mixer until smooth.
  • Add eggs and vanilla and blend until smooth.
  • Pour into ready made crust.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Note: The cheesecake is done when the sides are puffed- The center will not be as puffed- It will be possible to jiggle the center slightly but it will not be runny.
  • Let cool.
  • Top with cherry pie filling and chill.

CHERRY CHEESECAKE



Cherry Cheesecake image

When I worked full-time and needed a quick dessert to take to a potluck or a friend's home, this pie was always the answer. You can substitute a graham cracker crust or use another type of fruit pie filling for a change of pace. Even the chilling time is flexible if you're in a big hurry. -Mary Smith Bradenton, Florida

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.

LIGHT CHERRY CHEESECAKE



Light Cherry Cheesecake image

This cheesecake boasts a velvety texture with less fat than the original, thanks to lighter versions of cream cheese and sour cream, plus plenty of cottage cheese.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cake Recipes

Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 12

Nonstick cooking spray
8 graham crackers (3-by-5 inch)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, such as safflower
3 cups low-fat (1%) cottage cheese
8 ounces reduced-fat bar cream cheese, room temperature
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream
4 large eggs
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 bags (12 ounces each) frozen cherries

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees, with rack set in lower third. Assemble a 9-inch springform pan with the rimmed side of the pan facing down. Coat pan with cooking spray; line side with a long strip of waxed or parchment paper.
  • In a food processor, grind graham crackers until fine crumbs form. Add oil, and pulse to moisten. Transfer crumbs to prepared pan, and press firmly into the bottom. Place pan on a rimmed baking sheet; bake until crust is lightly browned, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, wipe bowl and blade of food processor. Blend cottage cheese and cream cheese until very smooth and glossy, scraping down bowl as necessary, 4 to 5 minutes. Add 3/4 cup sugar, sour cream, eggs, flour, vanilla, and salt; blend just until filling is smooth.
  • Pour filling onto crust (crust can be hot or warm). Bake until barely set in center, about 1 hour. Turn oven off; let cake cool in oven 1 hour. Transfer to a wire rack, and let cool to room temperature, about 2 hours. Refrigerate until firm, at least 3 hours and up to 2 days.
  • Make topping: In a large skillet, combine cherries and remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. Boil over high heat until liquid is thick and syrupy, 10 to 15 minutes. Cool, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 2 days.
  • To serve, unmold cheesecake (peel off and discard paper). Transfer to a serving platter; top with cherry topping.
