Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking pan with parchment paper.

In a mixing bowl, combine the room temperature cream cheese, eggs, maple syrup, and cornstarch. Use a hand blender or food processor to blend the mixture until smooth and creamy.

Add the lemon zest and juice to the cream cheese mixture. Mix again until all ingredients are fully combined, ensuring the lemon flavor is evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Pour the creamy batter into the prepared baking pan. Arrange the defrosted cherries in the middle of the batter, forming a heart shape.

Place the cheesecake in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 45 minutes, or until the edges are set.

Once baked, remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature. Carefully cut the cheesecake into slices and serve.
