Рецепт Eggless No Bake Fresh Cherry Cheesecake
It was our
Wedding Anniversary yesterday and I made this quick, no bake, eggless cheese
cake to celebrate this special day of our’s :)..... I have been making this
cheesecake for the last several
years with different toppings..... Already posted a Peach and Mango Cheesecake
some time back.... This time I used fresh cherry as I wanted to consume as much
cherry as possible before the Cherry season ends..... I have even stored
some cherries in the freezer for later use..... The topping recipe is from
Deepa’s blog… its really good and
my hubby likes to eat the topping by itself… Pitting the cherries
without a cherry
pitter was a serious task
for me earlier.... but found out an interesting idea using a pastry tip on this site; also check out Magpie’s blog on how she used a small mouthed bottle to
pit cherries :).... In place of cherries you can use strawberries or a mixture of cherry and strawberry with the same topping recipe....
