Step 3: Assemble the Layers
- Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the chilled cookie base. Smooth the top with a spatula for an even finish.
- Spoon the cherry pie filling on top of the cheesecake layer. Spread gently so that the cherries are evenly distributed.
Step 4: Chill and Set
- Cover the dessert with plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results. This allows the layers to firm up and the flavors to meld.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
- Cut the dessert into squares or rectangles.
- Optional: Garnish with fresh cherries, chocolate shavings, or a light drizzle of chocolate syrup for extra flair.
- Serve chilled and enjoy the creamy, fruity, and crunchy layers in every bite.
Tips for Perfection
- Cookie Choice: Chocolate cookies give a rich contrast, while graham crackers offer a classic cheesecake flavor.
- Whipping Cream: Make sure the cream is cold to whip properly.
- Layering: Avoid spreading the cherry topping too thickly; a thin, even layer allows every bite to have the perfect balance.
- Make Ahead: This dessert can be made a day in advance and stored in the fridge. The flavors develop beautifully overnight.
