THE WORLD'S BEST CHEESECAKE

by Sharon Karst


CHERRY CHEESECAKE

Crust:

2 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup sugar
1 stick butter, melted

Mix together in bowl and press with spoon into springboard pan.

2 (8 oz.) package cream cheese
1 pint sour cream
1 cup sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1 can cherry pie filling

Cream together cream cheese and sugar. Add one egg at a time. Stir in vanilla and sour cream. Bake for 30 minutes at 375 degrees. Turn off oven. Don't open door! Let sit in oven 1 hour. Cool in refrigerator. Top with pie filling.

Danny's note: The leftover batter makes a great "milkshake", too.
