Step 3: Add the Cherry Crown

1. Spoon the cherry pie filling over the top of the cheesecake.
2. Spread it gently without pressing down so it forms a glossy red layer.
3. Make sure the topping reaches the edges for the best presentation.

Step 4: Chill to Perfection

• Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, but overnight is ideal.
• Chilling allows the filling to firm up and the flavors to meld beautifully.

🍒 Serving Suggestions

• Serve slices cold for the best texture.
• Add fresh cherries or grated white chocolate on top for a gourmet touch.
• For cleaner slices, dip your knife into hot water and wipe it between cuts.

💡 Helpful Tips

• Use full-fat cream cheese for the creamiest result.
• If your filling feels too soft, you can add 1 teaspoon of gelatin dissolved in 2 tablespoons of warm water to stabilize it.
• The crust can be made with vanilla wafers, digestive biscuits, or even Oreos for fun variations.
