This was not good at all. I went right by the recipe and it didn't have that good creamy cheesecake taste. I didn't really like the pureed cherry pie filling either. This a throw away recipe.

I made this very pretty cake for my bff's birthday. It was incredible, rich, flavorful and very creamy. It tasted awesome, I never even missed the crust. What a fabulous flavor. Thank you so much for sharing your lovely recipe. :)
