Equipment

  • 1 Mixing bowl
  • 1 9-inch springform pan
  • 1 food processor
  • 1 Oven
  • 1 hand mixer
  • 1 Spatula
  • 1 Cooling rack

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup Brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup Heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup Granulated sugar
  • 8 ounce Cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup White chocolate melted
  • 1 cup Cherries pitted and halved
  • 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon Water
  • 1/4 cup Grated white chocolate for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a food processor, combine rolled oats, all-purpose flour, and brown sugar, and pulse until well mixed.
  • Add melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt to the mixture and pulse until a crumbly dough forms.
  • Press the dough evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
  • Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes until golden brown, then let it cool.
  • In a mixing bowl, whip heavy cream with a hand mixer until soft peaks form, then set aside.
  • In another bowl, beat cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth.
  • Fold melted white chocolate into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
  • Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese and chocolate mixture.
  • Spread the cream mixture evenly over the cooled oatmeal crust.
  • In a small saucepan, combine cherries, cornstarch, and water, and cook over medium heat until thickened.
  • Allow the cherry mixture to cool, then spread it over the cream layer.
  • Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  • Before serving, garnish with grated white chocolate.

Notes

Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before mixing to achieve a smoother texture. When preparing the crust, pressing it firmly into the pan will help it hold together better after baking. The cherries can be substituted with other berries if preferred, but be sure to adjust the cornstarch quantity based on the fruit's juiciness.
