3. Prepare the Cherry Layer:
In a saucepan, combine the pitted cherries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and water.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and the cherries become soft about 5-7 minutes.
Allow the cherry mixture to cool slightly before spreading it evenly over the cream cheese layer.
4. Assemble and Chill:
Once the cherry layer is evenly spread, sprinkle the top with chopped pistachios for added crunch.
Refrigerate the bars for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
Once chilled and set, slice the dessert into bars and serve.
Enjoy!
