I chose to keep the sweetness on the lighter side, so make sure to serve this cheesecake with the caramel sauce. If you prefer, you can add an additional 2 tablespoons of maple syrup to the filling.

Inspired by the No-Bake Cherry Cheesecake from Martha Stewart Magazine.

For the filling:

  • 1 cup sour cream, room temperature
