Adrienne`s Cherry Cheescake
Updated: January 7, 2009
As prepared by Matt Metcalf on "The Morning Show" Thanksgiving morning.
Matt`s stepmother Adrienne makes this cherry cheesecake almost every holiday. It`s easy to prepare and is usually the first dessert to "disappear" from the buffet line.

1 9" graham cracker crumb crust
1 8 oz. pkg. softened cream cheese
1 14 oz. can sweetened, condensed milk
1/3 C. lemon juice (from concentrate)
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 21 oz. can cherry pie filling/topping
DIRECTIONS

*Do not let the cheesecake stand out for an extended period because it contains milk products.
