Step 4: Assemble the Cheesecake

1. Remove the chilled crust from the fridge.
2. Spoon the cheesecake filling onto the crust, smoothing it out with a spatula.
3. Make sure the top is even and free of air pockets.
4. Cover the pan with plastic wrap.

Now comes the only hard part—waiting!

Step 5: Chill to Set

Place the cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, but overnight is ideal for a perfectly firm texture. Chilling allows the cream cheese and whipped cream to stabilize and hold their shape when sliced.

Step 6: Add the Cherry Topping

1. Once the cheesecake has fully set, remove the plastic wrap.
2. Spread the cherry pie filling gently over the top.
3. Use the back of a spoon to distribute the cherries evenly.

The glossy red cherries add the perfect sweet-tart finish.

Serving and Storage Tips

• For neat slices, use a sharp knife heated in warm water.
• Store leftover cheesecake covered in the fridge for up to 4 days.
• You can freeze slices (without the cherry topping) for up to 2 months.
