The BEST Cherry Cheesecake

(145 grams) honey graham cracker crumbs

tbsp (45 grams) melted butter

pkg cream cheese, room temperature

(150 grams) granulated sugar

eggs

(750 milliliters) sour cream (full-fat

tsp (10 milliliters) vanilla extract

(1&1/2 lbs) frozen pitted cherries

(100 grams) granulated sugar

water

cornstarch

tsp (5 milliliters) almond extract

Preheat oven to 325F and grease the sides of a 9&#8243; springform pan.

Mix the cracker crumbs and melted butter together in a small bowl. Press into the bottom of the springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes and set aside to cool.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until combined.

Add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well in between on low speed.

Blend in the sour cream and vanilla until smooth. Gently pour the batter over the crust.

Bake for 60-75 minutes or until the edges are set and 2-3&#8243; of the center is still wobbly.

Turn off oven and run a thin knife along the edge to loosen the cake from the sides. Let cool in the oven for an hour with the door ajar. Then cool to room temperature before refrigerating for a minimum of 4 hours or preferably overnight.

In a medium saucepan, heat the cherries, sugar and 3 tbsp of the water until heated through. Dissolve the cornstarch in the remaining 1 tbsp of water. Stir in the cornstarch and almond extract and continue to cook until sauce thickens (about 1-2 minutes). Let cool completely. Spoon over cheesecake before serving.

Cherry Topping

This was fabulous but my crust kinda fell apart/wasn’t crispy/hard enough. Followed exact, not sure what I did wrong or what I can do to keep it together better

The cherry topping was very watery and the frozen organic cherries did not look as luscious as your photos. Are you supposed to defrost the cherries and drain to get rid of some of the liquid. Ended up using fresh blueberries instead.

Makes an absolutely beautiful cheesecake, everyone loved it.
