How to Make Heavenly Cherry Cheesecake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, beat together 16 ounces cream cheese (softened), 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter (melted), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract using a mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
- Reduce mixer speed to low and add 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing until just combined after each addition.
- Gently fold in 1 cup sour cream.
- Pour the batter into your prepared graham cracker crust (recipe not included).
- Bake for 65 minutes, or until the center is almost set. The edges should be set, but the center may still have a slight jiggle.
- Let the cheesecake cool completely in the oven with the door slightly ajar. Then, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to set completely.
- Before serving, top with your favorite fresh cherries (about 1 cup). Enjoy!
