CHERRY CHEESECAKE RECIPE

My family has made a very similar recipe for years. Only change is instead of powdered sugar or heavy cream we use 1 can of sweetened condensed milk to fill the place of both. We also add 1/4 c lemon juice to make it perfect. It’s a birthday favorite every year!

So easy and sooo good. If you are a cheesecake lover you must try this. It’s lighter and fluffier than baked cheesecake. I used a prepared “light” graham cracker crust from the store and 1/3 less fat cream cheese to save some calories. Unfortunately it is so good that I have eaten a slice every day since I made it! My fiance loves it too and he’s not a big cheesecake lover.

I made this and loved loved loved it although i changed it a bit. i used arrowroot biscuits and instead of the cherry top i decided to make a strwberry cheesecake. i made the recipie as normal but added about 7 fresh purreed strawberrys to the actuall cream cheese mixture and left out the toppingand it tasted absolutly gorgeous. will definatly make again soon yum.

I made this cheesecake for a dinner party we were attending and it was gone in minutes with rave reviews!

This is really good base. I liked it because it is so easy to make and it doesn’t need baked. I changed a couple of things. The butter really needs to be melted and mixed together with the suger before adding to the graham crackers,or it will not hold together for the crust. The Cream Cheese MUST be soften. Just leave it sit out for about 20 minutes,then while still in the inside package,lightly knead with your fingers. I added 1 -2 T of Lemon Juice to the filling so it tasted more like a real Cheesecake. Thank you for sharing.

My mom has made this ever since I can remember! I had never had Real Cheesecake until I was in High school and I thought it tasted funny! lol. I don’t understand why people think it is too sweet- it is cheesecake for crying out-loud! one of the richest desserts out there! We usually do the cherry pie filling or blueberry pie filling. Mom usually uses cool whip. And for the person that said the whipping cream made it too runny- did you whip the cream first? It is a must. I don’t understand why people rate this recipe 1 star and then say everything they changed. If you just followed the recipe it would have been great!
