As the holidays near I'll just be bake, bake, baking away. Here's the first of my many treats, my hubbie's favourite - Cherry Cheesecake. This is the recipe that I used:

I used these quality ingredients:
I started by finely grinding the graham crackers in my food processor:
Then I melted some butter:
And mixed it with the sugared graham cracker crumbs:
I pressed this mixture into the bottom of my greased and foil-lined springform pan. Check out Rainbow Brite doing the robot next to the pan.
Then I put the cream cheese into my mixer bowl,
and creamed it:
Next I added the lemon zest, cornstarch, and sugar:
After adding the eggs and vanilla, the batter was quite creamy,
but after I added the heavy cream,
it was straight up fluffy! I poured it on top of the prepared crust (unfortunately the flash didn't go off---can't win them all):
The cheesecake looked PERFECT when it came out of the oven! Man does that pan of hot water do the trick!
I put it into the fridge almost immediately, and in the morning there were cracks on the top, but the filling covered them nicely.
Yum-o-licious!
