Dessert Masterpiece

Begin your journey to dessert perfection with our indulgent Cherry Cheesecake recipe—creamy, dreamy, and absolutely divine!

Cherry Sauce Prep

Start with the cherry sauce: mix water, cornstarch, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan. Heat until thickened, then add cherries and cook until bubbly.

Perfect Pie Crust

For the crust, pulse Graham crackers into fine crumbs, mix with sugar and butter, and press into a springform pan. Bake to set the base for your masterpiece.

Cream Cheese Filling

Blend softened cream cheese with vanilla, sour cream, sugar, and lemon zest for a silky smooth filling. Add eggs one at a time, mixing just enough to incorporate.

Assemble  Your Cheesecake

Pour the creamy filling over the cooled crust, smoothing the top for an even layer. Ready your roasting pan for a water bath to ensure even cooking.

Baking Magic

Bake at 325°F in a water bath to gently coax the cheesecake to creamy perfection, ensuring it cooks evenly  without cracking.

Cooling Down

Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake cool gradually. This slow process helps prevent surface cracks and ensures a smooth finish.

Chill and Set

After cooling, chill the cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours to set the filling completely, making it ready for topping.

Garnish and Serve

Spread the lush cherry topping over your chilled cheesecake. Slice, serve, and watch your guests marvel at this divine dessert!
