Instructions
Prepare the crust
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 23cm (9-inch) pie plate evenly.
Pro tip: Use the bottom of a glass or measuring cup to press the crust evenly.
Bake the crust
Bake the crust for 10 minutes in the preheated oven until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let it cool completely.
Prepare the filling
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually mix in the sugar and vanilla extract until well blended.
Pro tip: Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps.
Add the eggs
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the filling is smooth and creamy.
Assemble the pie
Pour the cream cheese filling into the cooled crust, spreading it evenly.
Chill the pie
Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours or until fully set.
Pro tip: For best results, chill overnight.
Add the topping
Once set, spread the cherry pie filling over the cheesecake layer evenly.
Serve the pie
Slice and serve the pie chilled. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
Pro tip: For clean slices, wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts.
