Cherry Cheesecake and summer are back!  Yay! Poke Cakes are great for summer because they are served cold and taste divine!  Everyone loves them and they'll love this Very Cherry Cheesecake Poke Cake too!

Savor every luscious bite of this delectable Very Cherry Cheesecake Poke Cake!  The yellow cake is filled with tempting cherry cheesecake filling, cream cheese whipped cream and more surplus cherry yumminess on top!  I ask you...Does it get any better than this?  

Very Cherry Cheesecake Poke Cake

When you think of 'cherry cheesecake', what do you think of?  Does it remind you of your Aunt Jane that always brings it to every family gathering, or indulge on a special romantic evening with your lover or maybe it's just because it's such a classic and it's unforgettable?  

I always think of the first cheesecake I was ever introduced to. It just happened to be a Sara Lee Cherry Cheesecake!  Man, was that good!  I didn't know cheesecake had calories until later...but, see what I mean about unforgettable?  🙂  

Very Cherry Cheesecake Poke Cake

I wanted to make this poke cake blueberry, but realized I didn't have blueberry pie filling to make it a blueberry cheesecake poke cake, but you can use whatever pie filling you have around the house and make it your favorite cheesecake poke cake ever! 🙂  

I've always been a fan of the cherry pie filling.  Cherry pie is my all-time favorite fruit pie and these Rustic Cherry Streusel Crescent Pies are one of our family's favorites, plus they are so super cute to boot! 

Very Cherry Cheesecake Poke Cake

Ready to take this on?  You should!  It's sinful!

All it takes is your baked cake, cherry pie filling, sweetened condensed, cream cheese and some milk all blended into a creamy filling and then there's that cream cheese whipped cream (OH yea!) and more cherries and maybe a little grated white chocolate, just because!  <3

BTW...While we are on the subject of cherries and cheesecake, you will love this Cherry Cream Cheese Biscoff Delight, White Chocolate Cherry Vanilla Cheesecake {No Bake} and this Chocolate Cherry Oreo Dessert!

    Poke cakes look so much similar to tres leches. Being a tres leches lover, am sure poke cakes are right up my alley. With cherries all around us, this is just the perfect cake right now:)

    cherry pie is my dad's favorite, and father's day is coming up, so this might have to be on the menu (; my family hasn't been that into cheesecake, so i don't have any cheesecake memories, but it's probably time to make some!!
