Tips:

  • Use Fresh Cherries: Fresh cherries are best for this recipe, but you can also use frozen or canned cherries. If using frozen cherries, thaw them and drain off any excess liquid before using.
  • Cook the Cherries: Cook the cherries with sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch until thickened. This will help to enhance the flavor of the cherries and prevent them from becoming too runny.
  • Use High-Quality Cream Cheese: Use full-fat cream cheese for the best flavor and texture. Soften the cream cheese to room temperature before using to ensure a smooth filling.
