I fell in love with cooking when I was 11 years old, and have enjoyed creating and modifying recipes since then. This cheesecake was a big hit when I first made it, and everyone agrees that it's the best flavor combination. Ingredients:
1 jar (12 ounces) maraschino cherries |
2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened |
1/2 cup sugar |
2 eggs, lightly beaten |
1/2 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips |
1 chocolate cookie crust (9 inches) |
6 chocolate-covered cherries |
Directions:
1. Drain maraschino cherries, reserving 2 teaspoons juice. Cut cherries into quarters; set aside.
2. In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar and reserved cherry juice until smooth. Add eggs; beat just until combined. Fold in chocolate chips and reserved cherries.
3. Pour into crust (crust will be full). Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until center is almost set. Cool on a wire rack. Refrigerate until chilled. Serve with chocolate-covered cherries. Yield: 6 servings.
