Evenly divide the cheesecake mixture between the two glass baking dishes. Use a spatula to spread it into an even layer, making sure to reach all the corners so each bar has a good, thick layer of filling.
Chill briefly (optional but helpful): If you have the time, place the dishes in the refrigerator for about 20–30 minutes. This helps the cheesecake layer firm up a bit so the cherries sit nicely on top.
Add the cherry topping: Open the cans of cherry
