Chef’s notes

This recipe is a twist on a family classic, bringing in the creaminess of cream cheese and the tartness of dried cherries.

Cooking times may vary; check the center after an hour to ensure it is set.

Adaptations from the original recipe include using less butter and substituting cream cheese for cottage cheese.
