Cherry Cheesecake Dessert

By: Christine Eilerts 
"My mother often made this lovely fruit-topped cheese-cake. Now our grown sons consider it my 'signature dessert'. Sometimes, I bake and freeze the cheesecake ahead. On the day I serve it, I thaw it, then add the fruit. -Christine Eilerts Tulsa, Oklahoma"
