    Lemon Cherry Cheesecake With Lemon Crust happened because I bought a can of cherries at Aldi's and cream cheese was on sale. Sometimes the best recipes start with a sale. ;-)

    I presented this Lemon Cherry Cheesecake with Lemon Crust to my husband after he had a long day of studying. He is getting his bachelor's in Organizational Leadership from Calvary University. Needless to say, he is downstairs studying a lot.

    Poor guy needs something to get him through the long hours of papers and tests. Cheesecake usually does the trick.

    It is a lot, having him work all day at his regular job and study so hard at night and on the weekends. The end result will be worth it though. Quite frankly, when you go back to school and you are 41 with a full time job, a wife and four kids, you deserve a round of applause. And maybe something sweet.

    Lemon Cherry Cheesecake With Lemon Crust

    This dessert recipe has cream cheese, a can of cherries, lemon cake mix and sweetened condensed milk. (By the way, I had my husband at sweetened condensed milk. Really. He knew he would love the dessert with those three words.)

    The crust is two ingredients and the cheesecake filling is four. You will be having dessert on your table in no time. Also, most of this recipe is no bake. The only part you have to bake is the crust and it only takes about 7 minutes, that's all.

    Baker's Corner:

    Products used: I used a 9x13 baking dish for this recipe like this one here.  I also used a hand mixer. (Love the fun red of this mixer!)

    This recipe is so easy and so delicious on a warm summer day. Enjoy it with a glass of strawberry lemonade or for dessert after hamburger casserole.
