This Upside Down Cherry Vanilla Cheesecake recipe is a fun twist on a classic dessert. The base of the cheesecake is made with a light and fluffy cream cheese mixture, with a sweet cherry topping that is baked to perfection. When inverted, the end result is a beautiful, colorful dessert that is sure to make a statement on any dessert table. This cheesecake is perfect for those who enjoy a lighter, less dense dessert, as the texture is airy and light. Serve chilled for a refreshing and indulgent dessert experience.

Instructions

1.Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2.In a small saucepan, heat the canned cherries, caster sugar, water, and cornflour over medium heat. Cook until the mixture thickens and the cherries have broken down, for around 5-7 minutes.
3.Remove from heat and pour the cherry mixture into the bottom of a silicone fluted cake pan. Allow to cool.
4.In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the cream cheese, cream, powdered sugar, vanilla bean paste or extract, and cinnamon together until a smooth mixture forms.
5.Dissolve the gelatin powder in a small amount of hot water and stir until completely dissolved. Add to the cream cheese mixture and combine well.
6.Pour the cream cheese mixture over the cherry mixture in the cake pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.
7.Bake for 30 minutes until the center is set, then chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
8.To serve, place a plate upside down over the cake pan and flip to release the cheesecake onto the plate. Serve chilled and enjoy!
