Doug Ford Shared His 'Famous' Cherry Cheesecake Recipe & There's Even A Video

"If I wasn't a premier I'd open a cheesecake factory."
Managing Editor, Canada

Cheesecake, anyone? Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s cherry cheesecake recipe is apparently “famous” and he’s just shared a video that shows exactly how to make it.

In a tweet on December 26, the premier re-posted a clip of himself baking his family’s cherry cheesecake, which Ford says he learned from his mom when he was just 10 years old.

He begins the video by saying, “Hi everyone, today we’re going to make the famous premier’s cheesecake.”

The ingredients include milk, butter, sugar, cream cheese, icing sugar and two cans of cherry pie filling.

“The holidays are a great opportunity to stay home and bake some treats,” wrote the premier in the caption.

“Consider trying my family’s cheery cheesecake recipe! It’s simple to make and very delicious,” he added.

It’s not the first time the politician has shared the recipe with his Twitter followers. 

Back in May, the same clip went viral and it received both criticism and praise from Ontarians.

He's not the only one sharing baking tips, either! NDP leader Jagmeet Singh shared his unconventional gingerbread recipe this week, which included ingredients like love, compassion and caring for each other.
