Back when I was first intro to PC which was 7-8 years ago...the "rage" in recipes was the Chicken and broccli braid(which is still awesome) and a cherry cheesecake type recipe and that is what I am looking for is that recipe... here is what I remember about it

used parchment on round stone to keep it from running off, had cream cheese, a can of cherry pie filling(or in my case I used blueberry) and that's all I really remember anyone know what I am talking about? or something simialr?
