BLUEBERRY OR CHERRY CHEESECAKE

Blueberry or Cherry Cheesecake image

Not your average cheesecake! (Tho, I must admit, I have rarely met a cheesecake I didn't like...) Very rich, makes a beautiful presentation, and easy too. Use the pie filling of your choice. The cousin who made this for me uses blueberry. I'm planning to go with cherry when I make this. I'm not sure re the exact size of the box of graham crackers, but use a full regular sized box, or the equivalent in canned graham cracker crumbs.
