Time 40m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup sugar
¼ cup cornstarch
⅓ cup water
1 tablespoon lemon juice
40 oz canned cherry, drained
1 teaspoon almond extract
25 chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
40 oz cream cheese
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup heavy cream
fresh berry, for decoration

Steps:

  • Add the sugar and cornstarch to a large saucepan and whisk until combined. Stir in the water and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, whisking until the sugar has dissolved, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until a thick syrup forms and turns golden, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the cherries and cook for another 2-3 minutes until syrup has thickened. Turn off the heat and stir in the almond extract. Set aside to cool.
  • Line an 8-inch (20 cm) springform pan with plastic wrap. Transfer the cherry filling to the pan and spread evenly. Freeze for 2-3 hours, until firm.
  • Combine the crushed cookies with the melted butter in a medium bowl until well-combined.
  • Transfer the cookie crumb mixture to a 10-inch (25 cm) springform pan. Use a spatula or measuring cup to press the cookie crumbs down to form an even base. Freeze for 10 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract together with an electric hand mixer until combined.
  • Add the heavy cream and beat for another 2-3 minutes until combined and fluffy.
  • Spread half the cheesecake mixture over the chilled cookie crust. Freeze for 10 minutes.
  • Unwrap the cherry pie filling, and place it on top of the set cheesecake layer. Cover with the remaining cheesecake batter, spreading until smooth on top.
  • Decorate with fresh berries.
  • Chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours before slicing and serving.
  • Enjoy!
