Fruity with cherries

Preheat oven: fan oven to approximately 160°C; top and bottom heat to approximately 180°C. For the base, place the oat biscuits in a freezer bag and seal the bag tightly. Finely crumble the biscuits with a rolling pin. Place the crumbs in a bowl. Melt the butter and mix well with the crumbs. Pour the crumb mixture into a greased or lined springform pan (22 cm) and press down firmly with a spoon. Refrigerate the base for at least 10 minutes. For the filling, drain the cherries well and reserve the juice. If there isn’t enough, top up to 350 ml with water. Mix 4 tablespoons of the custard powder with the cinnamon, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 3 tablespoons of cherry juice. Bring the remaining cherry juice to a boil, add the mixed custard powder, and bring to a boil while stirring. Add the cherries and set aside. Finely chop the white chocolate. Place the cream cheese, crème fraîche, remaining sugar, and remaining pudding powder in a bowl and mix until smooth. Gradually add the eggs. Finally, add the chocolate and mix briefly. Pour the mixture into the springform pan and smooth it down. Spread half of the set cherries on top of the mixture. Place the pan in the oven and bake for about 40 minutes. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan and then carefully remove it from the pan. Refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours. Serve the cherry cheesecake with the remaining cherries. Cover and store the set cherries at room temperature. Otherwise, they will become too hard in the refrigerator. Temperature and baking time may vary. Makes 12 slices.
