Cherry Treat

Unusual and delicious with a sour cream and sweetened condensed milk layer. This tastes like a cheesecake. Use a spatula to get under the crust when ready to serve. The crust is very tasty. I used 5% sour cream and 14 oz. can of sweetened condensed milk and cooked the cake for 45 minutes. It might cook less if you use full fat sour cream and 11 oz. sweetened condensed milk.
