Delicious Made from Scratch Sour Cherry Cheesecake

Last week, we shared the recipe for making homemade cour cherry pie filling using fresh sour cherries. The filling can be used for a variety of desserts such as strudel, pie and of cheesecake. While you could always use a can of cherry pie filling and topping as a time-saver, we prefer to make our own filling for freshness and homestyle flavor.

The graham cookie base is baked for 15 minutes to the set the butter with the cookie crumbs and then cooled to room temperature before the layers of smooth cream cheese and pie filling are spread over top. Since cheesecake is always best when served cool so be sure to store the finished cheesecake in the fridge until serving.
