Currant Cheesecake Pie In A Graham Cracker Crust Recipe
This is a very smooth cheesecake in a graham cracker crust with currants which add texture. The top is broiled for a few moments at the end to give a pretty top.

Ingredients
  • Crust:
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 Tbsp. sugar
  • 2 tsp. cinnamon
  • 8 Tbsp sweet butter, melted
  • Filling:
  • boiling water
  • 2/3 cup dried currants
  • 24 ounces cream cheese
  • 8 ounces sweet butter, room temperature
  • 1/8 tsp. salt
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs

Directions
  1. Mix the crust ingredients together well.
  2. Press them into a well-greased 10-inch pie dish to form an even crust.
  3. Pour the boiling water over the currants to plump them for one minute. Then drain them and spread on paper towels to dry.
  4. Beat the cream cheese and butter together.
  5. Add the salt, sugar, vanilla, and eggs.
  6. Stir in the currants - do not beat them so you avoid breaking them up.
  7. Pour this batter into the crust and level the batter.
  8. Bake at 350 for 35 minutes in the middle of the oven.
  9. Raise the oven rack and broil for a minute +/- to color the top of the cake attractively.
  10. Let sit to cool to room temperature before serving or refrigerate.

Another recipe for me to save to the longer and longer list! I have a recipe that also has currants in it. It has been fabulous when I've made it. Curious to see how similar they are. One can never have enough cheesecake recipes.


I thought of you when posting this, knowing you're a cheesecake affcionado. I'll be curious how this measures up to the recipe you refer to.
We really enjoy this one too well when I make it.


Ohhhh, this sounds wonderful!
