How to Make It

1. Step
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.
2. Step
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.
3. Step
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.
4. Step
Combine the crushed cookies with the melted butter in a medium bowl until well-combined.
5. Step
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.
6. Step
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract together with an electric hand mixer until combined.
7. Step
Add the heavy cream and beat for another 2-3 minutes until combined and fluffy.
8. Step
Spread half the cheesecake mixture over the chilled cookie crust. Freeze for 10 minutes.
9. Step
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.
10. Step
Decorate with fresh berries.
11. Step
Chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours before slicing and serving.

Enjoy!
