Northwest Cheesecake Supreme * Mm
Description
This Northwest Cheesecake Supreme is a decadent dessert that balances the tangy richness of cream cheese with the sweet tartness of cherry pie filling. The base features a crunchy graham cracker crust pressed firmly into a springform pan, providing a perfect textural contrast to the smooth, velvety filling. Baked low and slow, the cheesecake achieves a dense, custard-like consistency that sets perfectly when chilled. The final layer of cherry topping adds a burst of fruit flavor and a beautiful glossy finish. Its an impressive yet straightforward dessert ideal for potlucks, holiday gatherings, or any occasion calling for a show-stopping sweet ending. Serve slices cold for the best texture and flavor.Ingredients
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (163C).
-
In a small bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, 3 tablespoons sugar, and melted margarine until the mixture resembles wet sand.
-
Press the crumb mixture firmly onto the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
-
Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove from oven and allow to cool slightly.
-
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, 1 cup sugar, and flour with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and well blended.
-
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until just combined.
-
Blend in the sour cream and vanilla until the mixture is uniform and creamy.
-
Pour the filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan.
-
Increase oven temperature to 450 degrees F (232C) and bake for 10 minutes.
-
Reduce oven temperature to 250 degrees F (121C) and continue baking for 1 hour.
-
Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour to prevent cracking.

Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or until completely chilled.
-
Spread the cherry pie filling over the top of the chilled cheesecake just before serving.
