250 g canned pitted cherries
¼ cup caster sugar

1 teaspoon cornflour
250 g cream cheese, at room temp
1 cup cream
2 tablespoons powdered sugar

In a small saucepan add the cherries, 2tbsp of the syrup from the tin, the water and the caster sugar and bring to the boil then reduce to a simmer and hold it there for 5 minutes.
2
Using a potato masher (Or a fork) roughly mash the cherries then add the cornflour, simmer for two more minutes, stirring gently.
3
Dissolve 1/2 tsp of the gelatin in 1tsp of boiling water then mix it through the cherry mix.
4
I like to use several small ramekins (Or bowls) But you could just as easily serve this in one dish.
5
Pour the cherry mix into your containers then place it in the fridge.
6
Whip the cream until it holds soft peaks then whip through the powdered sugar.
7
Fold in the cream cheese, vanilla paste and cinnamon, Taste the mix, Some people like theirs sweeter so feel free to add more powdered sugar.
8
Dissolve the remaining gelatin into 1/2 tbsp of boiling water then mix it through the cream.
9
Spoon your mix into your serving container ontop of the cherry mix.
10
Place the containers in the fridge for an hour or two to firm up then serve chilled.
