Danish Cherry Cheesecake
We loved this dessert! So much that I made it twice in two days! I wasn’t quite sure what to name it so I just called it how the layers were done. A layer of cake danish dough, then cherries, then a decadent layer of cream cheese that turns out like creamy cheesecake. We ate it while it was a little warm and it was perfect! This would be a wonderful dish to make for Mom this Sunday 🙂 Happy Mother’s Day to you all!
Ingredients are as follows:
batter:
6 Tbsp. butter
2 eggs
6 ounces greek vanilla yogurt (this gives the dough a little tart flavor)
3/4 C sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 C flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
21 ounce can of cherry pie filling
cheesecake:
16 ounces cream cheese, softened
3/4 C sugar
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees; grease a 9 x 13″ pan.
In a medium size bowl, melt the butter (on low heat) in the microwave.
Whisk in the eggs, yogurt, sugar and vanilla.
Mix in the flour, baking powder and salt.
Spread batter into greased pan.
Spread the cherry pie filling evenly on top, leave an inch border around the pan.
In a separate bowl, mix the cream cheese and sugar together.
Place dollops of the cream cheese mixture on top of the pie filling.
Spread it out a little, it doesn’t have to be perfect 🙂
Bake for 35-40 minutes; until the edges are golden brown.
Allow to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Slice, serve and enjoy!
I have made this several times and love it. I have also given the recipe to friends and they also love it. It is the best. I am glad that I found it.
Thank you so much, it is greatly appreciated 🙂
Sure looks good and yummy! This sure would great for any occasion, potlucks, and even good for the President's birthday coming up soon! Guess, you could use any of the fruit fillings? Apple, strawberry, blueberry! Thanks so much for posting this wonderful recipe! I follow "Flour Me With Love" all the time! You always have the best recipes!
Thank you for the sweet comment 🙂
Looks awesome! Pinning this! Sara
I HAVE LOTS OF FRESH RASPBERRIES THAT HAVE SOFTENED. CAN I PUREE THEM AND USE THEM INSTEAD OF CHERRY PIE FILLING?
I've never made it with pureed fruit so I'm not really sure. I think it would be best to puree the fruit then thicken it up a bit with a slurry (cornstarch/water) since pie filling has a thicker consistency.
Yummy! I absolutely LOVE cheesecake! This looks great!
