White Chocolate Cheesecake with Cherry Topping image

My recipe is simple but versatile. For variety, change up the crust by using chocolate chip cookies, shortbread or vanilla wafers instead of the graham crackers. You could also replace the cherry topping with strawberry or another fruit. -Susan Clements, Conway, Arkansas
