2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese at room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
Cherry-Berry Topping (below)
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 20 squares)
1/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup margarine or butter, melted
1 pint (2 cups) strawberries
1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling
1 teaspoon lemon juice

Steps:

  • Directions Heat the oven to 325°. Make Graham Cracker Crust (below). While crust is chilling, continue with the recipe.
  • Beat the cream cheese in a large bowl with the electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Gradually beat in the sugar and vanilla until smooth. Beat in the eggs, one at a time.
  • Pour the cheesecake mixture into the crust, and spread evenly. Bake about 40 minutes or until filling is set. Place pan on a wire cooling rack. Cool 30 minutes.
  • Cover the cheesecake and refrigerate at least 3 hours but no longer than 48 hours. While the cheesecake is chilling, make Cherry-Berry Topping (below).
  • Serve the cheesecake with the topping. Store covered in refrigerator.
  • Graham Cracker Crust Mix the cracker crumbs, sugar and margarine. Press firmly and evenly against bottom and side of the ungreased pie pan. Cover and refrigerate about 30 minutes or until firm.
  • Cherry-Berry Topping Rinse the strawberries with cool water, and pat dry with paper towels. Cut out the hull, or "cap," with the point of a paring knife. Cut the strawberries lengthwise into slices. Mix the strawberries, pie filling and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate topping until you are ready to serve the cheesecake.

I would make this cheesecake again, but I would make a few changes. I would use a different type of topping, and I would also bake the cheesecake for a little less time.

This cheesecake was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

The crust was a bit too crumbly for my taste. I prefer a graham cracker crust that's a bit more solid.

This cheesecake was a bit too dense for my taste. I prefer a lighter, fluffier cheesecake.

I love the combination of flavors in this cheesecake. The creamy cheesecake filling pairs perfectly with the tart cherry-berry topping.

This cheesecake is perfect for any occasion. It's elegant enough for a special dinner party, but it's also easy enough to make for a casual get-together.

The cheesecake was delicious, but the cherry-berry topping was a bit too tart for my taste. Next time, I'll use a different type of topping, such as a strawberry or blueberry topping.

This cheesecake was so easy to make and it turned out so beautiful! I love the contrast of the red cherry-berry topping against the white cheesecake.

I followed the recipe exactly and the cheesecake turned out perfectly. The texture was creamy and smooth, and the flavor was rich and decadent. The cherry-berry topping was the perfect finishing touch.

This cheesecake was a huge hit at my family gathering! The cherry-berry topping added a delicious and refreshing twist to the classic cheesecake flavor. I will definitely be making this again.
