Note

**Cookie Substitutions:** If specific Caramel DeLites, Shortbread, or Praline Royale cookies are unavailable, use any buttery shortbread or caramel-filled cookies. Crush them finely for a consistent texture.

**Cherry Preparation:** Ensure sun-dried cherries are finely diced so they distribute evenly throughout the mousse without sinking too much.

**Setting Time:** For best results, allow the cheesecake to chill overnight. This ensures the gelatin sets properly and the layers hold their structure when sliced.

**Serving:** Run a knife under hot water before slicing for clean cuts. Garnish with fresh mint or additional white chocolate shavings if desired.

**Storage:** Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Do not freeze as the mousse texture may change upon thawing.
