Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 0.333 cups unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 0.75 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cups fresh cherries, pitted and halved optional for topping

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
  • In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until evenly combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
  • Bake the crust for 10 minutes then remove from oven and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  • Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust in the springform pan.
  • Bake for 35-45 minutes or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
  • Let cheesecake cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Before serving, top with fresh cherries.

Notes

For best results, allow the cheesecake to chill overnight. You may substitute fresh cherries with cherry pie filling if fresh cherries are not available.
