This is a cheesecake that I have been making for over 20 years if you follow the recipe to the “T” you won't have any problem
it is also colorful as well as the most wonderful piece of pastry that you ever put in your mouth.

1 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
2 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons butter or margarine melted
2 pounds cream cheese
1cup sugar
8 ounces sour cream
2 eggs
1cup flour
พ cup heavy whipping cream
2 cup in total chopped candied cherries red and green raisins
walnuts
candied pineapple
ฝ cup small chocolate chips


In a 5 quart mixing bowl place 2 pounds of cream cheese and 1 cup granulated sugar and mix on low speed until cream cheese is softened and smooth
place in bowl 8 ounces sour cream and continue mixing until well blended
at this time add 2 eggs
mix for 2 minutes then add 1 cup flour
and 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
mix on second speed until your cheesecake batter is smooth and creamy. At this time your cheesecake mixture should be fluffy like ice cream as it comes out of the ice cream machine.
Add the candied fruit
raisins
walnuts
pine apple
chocolate chips
fold everything together.


Prepare your 10 inch x 2 inches spring form pan
in a large bowl place your graham cracker crumbs and 2 tablespoons sugar
and your melted butter or margarine
then with a wire whisk
whisk them together until well combined
brush onto the sides of your spring form pan a little softened butter so the crumbs have something to hold to
place the crumbs on the sides and bottom of the pan.
Now you add slowly to the pan your cheesecake mix as not to disturb the crumbs too much
now you should have a full pan.
The total weight of the cheesecake with the crumbs on the sides should be 5 to 5-1/4 pounds if you have some batter leftover just chill it
put some whip cream on it and enjoy.

Preheat your oven to 275 degrees and not more
when your oven is hot place the cheesecake in it and bake for 55 minutes then shut off the oven and let it in there for 3 hours
at the end of this time you should have the most beautiful cheesecake you ever seen
let the cheesecake on the table for 1 1/2 hours then place it in the refrigerator for about 2-3 hours. Now remove it from the pan and enjoy.
Before serving sprinkle some red and green edible glitter that you can purchase at any store that has decorating supplies.
