- Add the Cherry Layer: Open a can of 21 oz cherry pie filling. And pour it over the prepared cheesecake base. Spreading it out. To cover the entire surface. The cherry layer should be even. Creating a beautiful red topping.
- Chill: Cover the dish with a lid. Or plastic wrap. And place it in the refrigerator. Let it chill. For at least 1 hour. This step is crucial. As it allows the dip to set. And flavors to meld together.
