On the outside, it's a rich and decadent cheesecake, but take a bite and you'll discover it's filled with sweet, jammy cherry pie filling. It's a can't-beat recipe for your summer barbecue or pot-luck dinner.

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