Hi Friends!
For today’s recipe, it is a very easy yet creamy cheesecake, that I topped with cherry pie filling ???? It is my oldest’s son’s favorite, cheesecake and cherry pie filling. He loves cheesecake (dessert cheesecake) of any flavor, but when it comes to cherry pie filling, he is crazy about it ? One whole pie plate, he could finish it himself, if only he did not have to share it with his uncle or any of us ?
And oh yeah, this time, I baked the cheesecake on a pie plate rather than springform pan, hence the title. But yes, you can definitely bake it in a pan if you’d like to have a round shaped (cheese) cake. I was just too lazy digging up boxes (yes, most of my baking equipment are still boxed from our moving……back in April ?????).
