Eggless No Bake Fresh Cherry Cheesecake


Eggless 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....

  13. Oooo..like this. The cherries from Lebanon were just so lovely, I could never find any to do anything. The bad part was they were quite expensive.. I am comparing the prices to the preinvasion times when we would buy a big plastic crate for just .700 fils. Now to pay twice that for a small tray, hate it. They have dissappeared for this season now, but we can look forward to yummy strawberries soon! TFS Angela
