How to Make Cherry Cheesecake Squares
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs, ¼ cup granulated sugar, and 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) melted unsalted butter. Mix until evenly moistened.
- Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 13x9x2 inch baking pan.
- Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
- In a large bowl, beat 16 ounces cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add ¾ cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, beating until well combined.
- Add 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is almost set but still slightly jiggly.
- Let cool completely on a wire rack.
- Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cheesecake to set completely.
- Before serving, top with your favorite cherry pie filling (about 1 ½ cups).
- Cut into squares and serve chilled.
