Cherry cheesecake

Last but not least: the cherry cheesecake! Mix 2 cups graham cracker crumbs with 2/3 cup melted butter. Use to coat the baking dish, and store in the fridge. Beat 1 1/2 cups Philadelphia cream cheese with 3/4 cup ricotta. Add 1 pack of vanilla sugar (or 1 1/2 teaspoons) and 2/3 cup sugar. Add 3 eggs, one by one, and mix well. Pour the mixture onto the graham cracker crust and bake for about 45 to 50 minutes at 300° F. 

Serve cool with cherry compote.

Tip: You can add some pitted and halved cherries to the cheese preparation if you want, for more cherry flavor!
