Cherry Cheese Cake Recipe

This cherry cheese cake is my mom favorite dessert. And I make this cheese cake every year, for she’s birthday. She love the flufy  ricotta cheese cream and those sweet red  cherries like a little surprises in a light cheese cake. And the red jelly from the top make this cherry  cheese cake  absolute  charming. If you want to get a light and flufy cream, it’s  important to use a good ricotta cheese and to beat well the cream. Also, you can use fresh cherries  or compote.

If you don’t like to bake, you can buy a layer cake, and you’ll have a quick and no bake cherry cheese cake.
