I really enjoy cheesecake. I made this Classic Cherry Cheesecake on the weekend for brother's birthday party. It is quite simple. I have always liked cherry cheesecakes the best. Whenever I travel to big cities in the States, I usually stop at the Cheesecake Factory. They have so many different varieties. Chocolate. Peanut Butter. Fruit. Cookies. Caramel. And so many more. But I always choose Cherry Cheesecake. Why mess with a good thing?
Recipe:
1 1/2 cup Honey Maid Graham Cracker Crumbs
3 tbsp. sugar
1/3 cup butter or margarine, melted
4 pkg. (8 oz.) Philadelphia Cream Cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
4 eggs
1 can of cherries

3. Beat cream cheese, 1 cup of sugar, and vanilla. Add each egg one at a time. Pour mixture over crust.
4. Bake in the oven for 55 minutes. Loosen cake from the rim of the pan. Allow the cake to cool before removing the rim. Refrigerate for four hours.
5. Top with canned cherries just before serving. Option: Add fresh fruit instead!
