Cherry crunch dessert in a glass

Prep

1. Prepare the cherry layer: mix cherries with sugar in a saucepan, put on medium heat and bring to a boil. Dilute the starch in a small amount of cold water (15–30 ml.), pour into the cherries and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened (1-2 minutes). Remove from heat and cool completely.
2. Prepare the crunch (crunchy layer): crush the cookies into fine crumbs using a blender or rolling pin. Add melted butter and mix well (if using ready-made granola, do not add butter).
3. Prepare the cream: beat very cold cream with powdered sugar with a mixer until soft peaks. Add cream cheese and gently mix with a silicone spatula or beat at minimum speed until a smooth, fluffy mass.

Cooking

1. Assemble the dessert: place a layer of crunchy crust at the bottom of a transparent glass. Add a layer of cream on top (it is convenient to do this using a pastry bag). The next layer is the cooled cherry mass.
2. Repeat the layers once more so that the glass is filled to the top. The final layer should be cherry coulis and a little crunchy crumb for texture.
3. Decorate the dessert with fresh mint leaves. Serve immediately or leave in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours to stabilize.
