cherry cheesecake

Red-topped cream dessert

Cherry cheesecake is a dessert consisting of a creamy, sweetened cheese filling on a crust, topped with cherry compote or pie filling.

The base is typically New York–style cheesecake—dense and rich with cream cheese.

Cherry cheesecake appears on diner menus and at family gatherings, often from a mix or bought frozen: She brought a cherry cheesecake to the potluck.
