‘Tis the season to be eating! Christmas is the season when families get together to celebrate the holidays with fun activities, and what comes with that is making desserts to eat while watching movies. From cookies to pies and from their yummy cakes, families can craft recipes that are unquestionably theirs during the holidays. If you want to start your own tradition of making desserts from the comfort of your home for Christmas, scroll through the 4 different desserts below from other people, and craft your own off of that.
Cherry Cheesecake
Cherry Cheesecake is a regular cheesecake with a cherry pie filling on top.
“I start with getting the Graham crust and the cheesecake powder and can of cherries from Walmart and then when I come back home I prepare the crust, then I make the cheesecake filling in a bowl by putting the powder in then I add milk little by little to see if it enough, then I pour the filling in the crust and I open the can of cherries and pour it on top of the cheesecake. Then I close it up and put it in the fridge, so it’s ready for Christmas Day.”-Kerstyn Lagutap, student at Central High School
