Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 2 | cups granulated sugar |
| 4 | tablespoons butter |
| 4 | packages cream cheese |
| 8 | large eggs |
| 1/4 | cup fresh lemon juice |
| 2 | teaspoons vanilla extract |
| 1 | cup all-purpose flour |
| 1 | can cherry pie filling |
| 3 | cups non-dairy whipped topping |
| 21 | SnackWells cinnamon snacks |
| 1 1/2 | cups Grape-Nuts cereal |
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Prepare Crust: Crush the SnackWells cinnamon snacks and place them in a mixing bowl. Add granulated sugar and mix well. Incorporate butter using a pastry blender or a fork until well blended with the snack crumbs.
-
Prepare Casserole Dish: Prepare a 9″ x 13″ oven-proof casserole dish by either spraying it with a vegetable spray or coating the inside with butter.
-
Press Crust: Press the crushed mixture firmly onto the bottom of the prepared casserole dish to form an even crust layer.
-
Make Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, granulated sugar, eggs, fresh lemon juice, vanilla extract, and all-purpose flour. Use an electric mixer to beat until smooth and well combined.
-
Pour Filling: Pour the cheesecake mixture over the prepared crust in the casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
-
Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the filling is set. To check for doneness, insert a knife or toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean, the filling is cooked.
-
Cool: Once baked, remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool completely.
-
Top with Cherries: Spread the cherry pie filling evenly over the cooled cheesecake layer.
-
Add Whipped Topping: Spread the non-dairy whipped topping over the cherry pie filling, creating a fluffy layer.
-
Sprinkle with Cereal: Sprinkle the Grape-Nuts cereal over the whipped topping layer, adding a delightful crunch.
-
Chill: Place the assembled cheesecake in the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Enjoy the creamy texture of the cheesecake, complemented by the sweet cherries and crunchy cereal topping, creating a delightful dessert experience that everyone will love! 🍒🍰
