Cherry Cheesecakes

Cherry Cheesecakes are so simple and definitely worth the calories!

I haven’t had cheesecake in a long time and so I thought I’d make my own. I love cherries but you really could make this recipe a variety of ways with a variety of different toppings.

Any fruit would be amazing, or simply replace the graham crackers with Oreos, and then throw some in with the batter and you have Oreo cheesecakes. I love the flavor of these and how easy they are it really is a conundrum when you’re trying to eat more healthy.

Ingredients

1. • 1 cup salted butter
   • 2 and a half packages of graham crackers (16 full-size crackers)
   • 2/3 cup sugar
   • 4 large eggs
   • 4 packages cream cheese, softened 8 ounce each
   • 2 cup granulated sugar
   • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
