Instructions
Prepare the Base
- Wrap the ring of your springform pan with plastic wrap.
- In a large bowl, mix finely crushed biscuits with melted butter and sugar.
- Press the mixture onto the bottom of your springform pan and refrigerate while you make the filling.
Make the Filling

- In a separate bowl, beat the whipping cream until soft peaks form. Fold it into the cheese mixture.
- Melt white chocolate in a double boiler or microwave, then add to the cheese mixture.
- Prepare gelatin according to package instructions and add to the mixture. Combine everything and pour over the chilled crust.
- Refrigerate while you make the topping.
Prepare the Topping
- Combine cherry juice with cherries and sugar in a saucepan, cook on low heat until sugar dissolves.
- Add sifted vanilla pudding powder, combine, and cook for a few more minutes, constantly stirring to avoid lumps.
- Remove from heat and let cool for 15 minutes. When slightly cooled, pour over the cheesecake and refrigerate overnight.
Serve the Cheesecake

Note: You can use store-bought cherry pie filling for the topping.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing.
