I love sour cherry and cream cheese strudel and thought the combination of flavours would be great in a cheesecake. Using this Ukrainian recipe for inspiration, I adapted my usual cheesecake recipe. I used a combination of cream cheese and dry cottage cheese in the filling and folded through some Morello cherries.

I decided to jazz up the cheesecake with a walnut crumble topping.

I was a bit disappointed because the cheesecake looked a bit 'blah' when I took it out of the oven.

The cheesecake tasted great with the walnut crumble topping but I wasn't happy with how it presented, so consider this cheesecake a work in progress. I think I know how to make it better so when I've worked that out, I'll share the recipe with you.
I hope you all had fabulous weekends, in spite of the weather.
See you all again soon.

Looks delicious, Jillian! I can't wait to see the improved version. :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Michelle,
ReplyDeleteI should be able to remake the cheesecake in the next few weeks. Scrumptious rhubarb cake waiting in the wings....

Please put on the recipe and pictures :) I'd love to try this!
ReplyDeleteSorry I don't know where the pictures have gone to. I'll see if I can track them down for you. As for the recipe, I've been too busy to remake the cheesecake but I promise you, it's on my list of things to do.
