Method

The calculation in the recipe is for a 16cm (6.30 inch) mold.

The base

  • Chop the cookies.
  • Combine the butter with chocolate, and melt in a water bath.
  • Then mix it with the cookie crumbs until smooth.
  • Put the mass into the mold, form the sides with your hands, tamp the mass with a spoon or a smooth glass.
  • Place the mold with the base in the freezer.

Creamy layer

  • Pour the gelatin with milk.
  • Mix the cream, powdered sugar and cream cheese in a bowl, and whip until thick.
  • Dissolve the gelatin (don't overheat it), and add it to the mass.
  • Pour the mass into the chocolate base (don't remove the mold yet).
  • Put it back in the freezer.

Cherry layer

  • Put the cherries with sugar in a saucepan.
  • Mix the agar with water.
  • Bring the cherries to a boil, stirring gcarefully.
  • Add the water with agar, and cook for 2-3 minutes.
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat.
  • Let the berries cool slightly, and spread it over the creamy layer. Do it only when the creamy layer is COMPLETELY frozen.
  • Put the cheesecake in the fridge until completely stabilized.

Remove the mold, decorate the finished cheesecake with chocolate, and serve.
