ingredients

1 1/2 cup crushed graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup pecan halves, toasted, finely chopped
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
1 package (6 ounce size) white baking chocolate, divided
3 packages (8 ounce size) cream cheese, softened
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
2 teaspoons vanilla, divided
4 eggs
1 can (21 ounce size) cherry pie filling

directions

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F if using a silver 9-inch springform pan (or to 275 degrees F if using a dark nonstick 9-inch springform pan). Mix graham crumbs, pecans, sugar and butter until well blended. Press firmly onto bottom of pan.

Melt 5 of the chocolate squares as directed on package.

Beat the cream cheese in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until creamy. Gradually add sweetened condensed milk, beating until well blended.

Add melted chocolate and 1 teaspoon of the vanilla; mix well. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition just until blended. Pour over crust.

Bake for 1 hour or until center is almost set. Run knife or metal spatula around rim of pan to loosen cake; cool before removing rim. Refrigerate 4 hours or overnight.

Combine pie filling and remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla; spoon over cheesecake. Melt remaining chocolate square as directed on package; drizzle over cherries. Let stand until firm. Cut into slices to serve.

    do u have to use Pecans?

    • If you don't use the pecans you'll need to substitute something else - either another nut or more graham cracker crumbs.

  2. torm000 REVIEW:

    Texture was good but didn't really taste much white chocolate. Might try a different brand next time. Maybe not baking chocolate but some of the higher end stuff so it has more flavor.
