- To make the sweet pastry, combine the dry ingredients, add butter and eggs, and chill the dough.
- Roll out the pastry and line the cake tin, then blind bake.
- Prepare the frangipane and spread half of the cherry filling over the baked pastry.
- Top with frangipane mixture and bake until golden.
- Make the cream cheese topping, cover the cheesecake, and refrigerate overnight.
- Decorate with remaining cherry filling, cherries, and almonds before serving.
Notes
Ensure the pastry is chilled before rolling to prevent shrinkage. Blind baking the pastry ensures a crisp base. The frangipane mixture should be spread evenly. Let the cheesecake cool completely before adding the cream cheese topping for best results.
