    There are things that are already awesome on their own – for example cheesecake. I can’t resist a good cheesecake – no matter if its fluffy or creamy. Unfortunately all great ;) A good cherry pie is causing similar feelings – the cherry filling….mmmmm! I mean – who does not love a nice cherry pie?! Anyways – what happens if you combine both? Well…. magic happens :)

    It is really great – the combination of a cheesecake and a cherry pie is awesome! It looks like a regular cherry pie from the outside – like the ones you are used to I suppose – but when you cut out a slice, you can see the creamy layer of cheesecake and as soon as you try, you will understand why I am so happy about this combination :)

    Since I made this pie for the fist time I am asking myself a lot: Why haven’t you made this much earlier in your life? Why?! ;) Such a waste awesomeness you could have experienced much earlier! The combination of the cheesecake, the cherry layer and the pie crust is plain genius in my opinion. As you can see I can’t stop talking about this pie ;) Next time I am going to try a blueberry version. I already made a lot of blueberry pies and I also have a recipe for a delicious blueberry cheesecake, so I know this is also a winning combination!

    You can prepare the cherry filling in advance – it is basically made like my recipe for a homemade cherry pie filling – just different amounts. If you follow the instructions for canning the filling, you can keep it for weeks. Half of that cherry pie filling recipe is enough for this cake for example…

    So now get the last available cherries (or blueberries or peaches or…) and make a delicious cheesecake pie with it! You won’t regret it :)

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch
    1. Mix the water with the vinegar in a small bowl and add an ice cube. In a large bowl mix the flour, sugar and salt. Add the butter in small pieces and toss a bit so the butter is covered with the flour. Use a pastry cutter to or knife to cut the butter into pea-size pieces. Gradually add the water and mix everything with your hands until the dough cometh together. It should not be wet nor sticky. Wrap in plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least 1 hour.

    2. Wash, dry and pit the cherries. Try to save all the juices. In a small bowl mix sugar and cornstarch. In a large pot mix water (or cherry juice), lemon juice, zest and vanilla extract, then add the cornstarch-sugar mixture and mix until there are no more lumps. Bring the mixture to a boil, add the pitted cherries and let simmer for 8-10 minutes – the cherries should be soft but not mushy and the juice should be thickened. Take from the heat and let cool down completely (you can also make that a day in advance).

    3. Preheat the oven to 350˚F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9 inch (23cm) pie dish. Roll out about half of the dough (keep the rest in the fridge until needed) on a floured surface to a circle that is slightly larger than the pie dish. Transfer to the pie dish and press to the bottom and sides – the dough should overlap the edges a bit. Place in the fridge until needed.

    4. For the cheesecake filling mix the sugar and cornstarch in a bowl. Add the cream cheese, egg and vanilla extract and mix until well combined. Pour into the prepared pie crust and even out the top. Add the cherry filling on top. Roll out the remaining dough and cover the pie with it – you can go for a plain cover, stripes or lattice topping – make sure the edges are sealed and with a plain cover you have ventilation slits in the center. Whisk the egg with some water and brush the pastry top – sprinkle with coarse sugar (optional). Bake for 55-60 minutes – the top should have a nice colden color. Take out of the oven and let cool down. Serve slighly warm or cooled.

    1. Das Wasser mit dem Essig in einer kleinen Schüssel verrühren und einen Eiswürfel dazugeben. In einer großen Schüssel das Mehl mit dem Zucker und Salz vermischen. Die Butter in kleinen Stücken zugeben und im Mehl schwenken, bis alles bedeckt ist. Die Butter mit einem Teigmischer in etwa erbsengroße Stücke zerteilen. Das Wasser nach und nach zugeben und alles verkneten. Sobald der Teig anfängt zusammenzukleben, ist er gut – er sollte auf keinen Fall zu feucht werden. Zu einer Kugel formen, plattdrücken und in Klarsichtfolie einschlagen. Den Teig für mindestens 1 Stunde in den Kühlschrank legen.

    2. Die Kirschen waschen, abtropfen lassen und dann entsteinen. Nach Möglichkeit alle Flüssigkeit auffangen. In einer kleinen Schüssel den Zucker mit der Stärke verrühren. Das Wasser oder den Kirschsaft zusammen mit dem Zitronensaft, dem Abrieb der Zitrone und Vanille Extrakt in einen großen Topf geben. Die Zucker-Stärke mischung unterrühren, bis keine Klümpchen mehr vorhanden sind. Alles zum Kochen bringen, dann die entsteinten Kirschen zugeben und für 8-10 Minuten köcheln lassen. Die Flüssigkeit sollte gut angedickt sein und die Kirschen dürfen ein wenig weicher sein, aber nicht matschig. Vom Herd nehmen und komplett abkühlen lassen (kann man auch schon einen Tag eher machen).

    3. Den Ofen auf 175°C (350°F) vorheizen. Eine 23cm (9 inch) Pieform einfetten. Etwa die Hälfte des Teiges auf einer bemehlten Fläche ausrollen (den restlichen Teig im Kühlschrank lassen). In die Form legen und andrücken – der Teig sollte rundum etwas überlappen. Bis zur weiteren Verwendung ebenfalls in den Kühlschrank stellen.

    4. Für die Käsekuchenfüllung den Zucker mit der Speisestärke in einer Schüssel vermischen. Den Frischkäse, das Ei und den Vanille Extrakt zugeben und alles gut verrühren. Die Mischung in die vorbereitete Form füllen und glattstreichen. Die Kirschfüllung darauf verteilen. Den restlichen Teig jetzt ausrollen und damit eine Decke für den Pie formen – das kann eine einfache Haube sein, Streifen oder ein Gittermuster – auf jeden Fall die Ränder gut mit der Haube zusammendrücken. Falls der Pie komplett geschlossen wird, nicht vergessen, Luftschlitze in die Mitte zu schneiden. Das Ei mit etwas Wasser verquirlen und dann die Overfläche damit einpinseln. Wer mag kann noch etwas groben Zucker darüberstreuen (optional). Den Pie in den Ofen schieben und für 55-60 Minuten backen – die Oberfläche sollte eine schöne goldene Fabe bekommen haben. Aus dem Ofen nehmen und abkühle lassen. Den Pie noch leicht warm oder komplett abgekühlt servieren.

    Hi, my name is Marc. I’m a graphic designer.
    I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake – for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers – and it seems they like it most of the time. ;)
