Cherry-O Cheese Cake
In the 60s this was very fancy – the first cheesecake we’d
ever had. It’s the one Mom liked to make, and still Al’s favourite. It more recently became famous as Ontario Premier Doug Ford's favourite cake too.
1/2 box graham wafers
1/2cup butter
2 tbsp. white sugar
Mix together, and press into pan.
1 pkg. dream whip (made up)
3/4 cup white sugar
8 oz. cream cheese
Beat cream cheese, add sugar and fold in dream whip. Pour over the bottom layer.
1 can cherry pie filling
Spread over top. Refrigerate before serving.
I see why Mom liked this one, a heck of a lot easier than some fancier ones. Very pretty, too.
