Instructions:

1️⃣ Prepare the Crust:

• Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
• In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs 🍪 with melted butter 🧈 until combined.
• Press the mixture firmly into the base of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.

2️⃣ Make the Cheesecake Batter:

• Beat softened cream cheese 🧀, sugar 🍬, and vanilla 🌼 in a large bowl until smooth and creamy.
• Add eggs 🥚 one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
• Stir in sour cream 🥄 and heavy cream 🥛 until the batter is smooth.

3️⃣ Layer the Cheesecake:

• Pour half the cheesecake batter over the crust.
• Spoon half the cherry pie filling 🍒 over the batter.
• Add the remaining cheesecake batter on top, followed by the rest of the cherry pie filling.
• Use a knife to gently swirl the cherry filling into the batter for a marbled effect.

4️⃣ Bake the Cheesecake:

• Place the pan in the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is almost set.
• Let the cheesecake cool completely in the pan on a wire rack, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

5️⃣ Serve and Garnish:

• Remove the cheesecake from the pan and garnish with fresh cherries 🍒 and a dollop of whipped cream 🍦.
