Notes
For best results, make the cheesecake a day in advance for optimal flavor and texture.
Feel free to substitute the cherry filling with your favorite fruit topping for a different flavor.
Make sure the cream cheese is softened for easy mixing. A few seconds in the microwave can help if you’re short on time.
