Cherry Cheesecake Delight for a rainy day

Today it rained all day. I love the rain. It brings me comfort... odd I know. It also makes me want to fill the house with yummy smells.

The oldest Munchkin was after me for dessert. This is nothing new. He is a mini me. He loves dessert... and bacon.

I threw this together and I have to tell you, it is YUMMY! Give it a try and let me know what you think.

Ingredients:

6 Graham crackers (or enough crushed to cover the bottom of your springform pan)
2 Tbsp butter melted
1 8oz pkg cream cheese softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
dash of salt
2 eggs
2 cups frozen cherries
2 Tbsp Sugar
handful of chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Crush graham crackers and pat into the bottom of your springform pan. Drizzle with melted butter. In a bowl mix cream cheese until fluffy. Add sugar, vanilla, and salt until well combined. Add eggs one at a time. Beating well each time. Pour filling over crust. Bake for 25 minutes or until firm. Meanwhile in a pot, mix cherries and the 2 Tbsp sugar over medium heat until cherries release juice, stirring frequently. When cake is done, take it out of the oven and sprinkle the chocolate chips over top. Pour over the cherries and juice. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Slice and serve.
