Cheesecake with Frangelico cherries

Ingredients:

80ml (1/3 cup) Frangelico liqueur

155g (3/4 cup) caster sugar

400g fresh cherries, pitted

1x 360 frozen Sara Lee French Cream Cheesecake, thawed

Method:

Place the Frangelico and sugar in a small saucepan over a low heat and stir until the sugar dissolves. Increase heat to high and bring to the boil. Simmer for 2-3 minutes or until the syrup thickens slightly.

Add the cherries to the syrup. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes or until the cherries soften slightly. Set aside for 30 minutes to cool. Transfer to a bowl and place in the fridge for 30 minutes to chill.

Place the cheesecake on a serving platter. Top with the cherries and pour over some of the syrup.
