Instructions
1-Base Preparation: Mix the crushed biscuits or crackers with melted butter until well combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan. Refrigerate while you prepare the filling.
-
2-Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. Add in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract and sour cream or yogurt, mixing until smooth.
-
3-Baking: Pour the filling over the prepared base. Bake in a preheated oven at 160°C (320°F) for about 45-50 minutes or until the center is slightly jiggly but the edges are set. Allow the cheesecake to cool in the oven with the door slightly open.
-
4-Sour Cherry Sauce: In a saucepan, combine the sour cherries, sugar, and water. Bring to a boil, then simmer until the cherries are soft and the sauce has reduced a bit. If a thicker consistency is desired, mix cornstarch with a little water to form a paste and stir it into the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
-
5-Assembly: Once the cheesecake is cooled, pour the sour cherry sauce over the top. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.

Smart Tips
-
Cream Cheese Tip: Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for smoother blending. Cold cream cheese can lead to a lumpy mixture.
-
Avoid Cracks: To prevent cracks in your cheesecake, avoid overbeating the mixture. Also, a water bath during baking can help maintain even temperature.
-
Serving Suggestion: For an extra touch of elegance, serve individual slices with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of grated chocolate.
-
Cherry Alternatives: If sour cherries aren't available, you can substitute with other berries or fruits. Just adjust the sugar based on the sweetness of the fruit.
-
Freezing Option: This cheesecake freezes well. If you need to store it for an extended period, place the unsauced cheesecake in the freezer. When ready to serve, thaw in the refrigerator and top with freshly made sour cherry sauce.
