This cheesecake
turned out beautifully!  It was gorgeous!

Ingredients:

Crust:
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1 1/4 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup shortening
  • 1/2 cup sweetened coconut

Filling:
  • 2 (8 oz.) packages of cream cheese, softened
  • 2/3 cups sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 2 (21 oz.) cans cherry pie filling

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. For crust, combine flour and brown sugar. Cut in shortening until fine crumbs form and add 1/2 cup of nuts to crust, and 1/2 of the coconut into crust mixture. 
  3. Mix well and remove 1/2 cup of the crust mixture and set aside with the remaining nuts and coconut. This will be used for the topping. Press the crust mixture into a pie pan.
