Max had been asking for a cherry cheesecake for a couple of weeks, so this is what I made him. I'm sure that this is a familiar recipe to many of you.

I didn't invent this recipe, I found it in a recipe book and I give a demonstration and recipe review in this video.

To me, nothing takes the place of a real baked New York style cheesecake, but this is a very nice and light dessert to serve especially after a big meal. Most people love this, so it is a great thing to bring to a pot luck dinner. Make it the night before and just grab it out of the fridge and go!

Graham Cracker Crust
1 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup margarine, softened
1/4 cup sugar

Filling
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese (room temperature)
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup heavy cream, whipped
1 (12.5 ounce) can cherry pie filling (or other filling of your choice)
Directions

Mix together graham cracker crumbs, margarine, and sugar in a bowl until well incorporated and crumbly. Press into a pie plate or into an 8"x8" baking dish or cake pan.
Whip the whipping cream until thick.
Beat together the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla in a bowl until smooth and spreadable. Gently but thoroughly blend in whipped cream into cream cheese mixture until smooth. Pour cream cheese into prepared crust. Smooth the top with a spatula. Spread the cherry pie filling over the top, and refrigerate at least 2-3 hours minimum before cutting. Told you! Hardest part!

the cheese is it necessary to be cream cheese? n can use fresh cherries instead? sorry i ask so many questiond.

[yoyomax12]

@kjjdbss Yes for the butter. There are marscapone and ricotta cheesecake recipes out there, but for this one you need the cream cheese. what you put on the top of it is up to you.
