How to Make Delightful Cherry Cheesecake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- For the crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix well.
- Press the crust mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes.
- For the filling: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar, beating until combined.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
- Fold in the sour cream.
- Pour the filling over the baked crust.
- For the cherry topping: In a saucepan, combine cherries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened.
- Pour the cherry topping over the cheesecake filling.
- Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.
