Vanilla cheesecake with cherries, hazelnuts, and chocolate ganache – it’s delicious and insanely easy to make with just a simple list of ingredients!

With a heart of cherry preserves embraced by 2 layers of vanilla cheese cream and covered with a delicious layer of milk chocolate ganache filled with crunchy chopped hazelnuts.

A perfect cake for any occasion but especially for a birthday. I made this cake for my friend and colleague Maria for her birthday. Anyone who reads my blog knows very well that I love to make and give my cakes to friends and relatives, satisfying their requests, especially for their special day.

Maria asked me to make her a cake that resembles her favorite ice cream of a famous brand, “the crunchy” and so I granted her a wish.

This cake can be made in any season of the year, in winter you use black cherry jam as I did (an organic one preferably), but in late spring and summer you can use fresh sour cherries, or you can make the preserves yourself. Your cake will have that sense of freshness that every season’s harvest gives. You can also turn it into ice cream just replace the cream cheese with condensed milk always in the ratio of 1: 2 example: 150g of condensed milk and 300g of cream.
