Delightful Cherry Cheesecake, This is an amazing cheesecake that my boyfriend’s mom makes every year! it never lasts cause its so yummy!”, This was very good But I think the directions could have been clearer I guessed at the graham cracker amount and that didn’t get my crust quite to the top of the filling and I didn’t know how to tell if it was done or not and I think it ended up a bit overdone
It really MUST be made the day before since even after 2 1/2 hours in the fridge the interior was still lukewarm
Mixing everything up in the blender simplified things tremendously since I would have been reluctant to soften my cream cheese too thoroughly on an afternoon when it broke 80 , A nice quick recipe to make that was pretty much foolproof, turned out lovely! Thanks!
