Notes
- room temperature ingredients: Check that the eggs and cream cheese are room temperature prior to mixing. This prevents lumps from the cheesecake, which makes it creamy and smooth.
- Cool the Cheesecake. Do not rush to chill the process. Letting the cheesecake fully set will give an even, firmer texture and more flavor.
- Utilize Fresh Cherries: If you like fresh cherries, then you can substitute the filling of your cherry pie with fresh cherries cooked in some lemon juice and sugar to make an individual topping.
