Recipe Time! Cheesecake

Chicago Cherry Cheesecake

If you’ve been following along with me on Chi@Glance you know I have a sweet tooth. Although I can cook…I LOVE to bake! Sweets are definitely my kryptonite. One of my favorite things to make is New York Cheese Cake. Well…let’s change the name to Chicago Cherry Cheesecake. 🙂 Hope you enjoy this yummy treat as much as I do. I love to make my crust from scratch as well. You’ll want to have a 9 inch spring form pan to bake the cheesecake in. Also, if you’re not a fan of cherries feel free to top the cheesecake with another topping you like.
