Cherry-Berry Low-fat Fake Cheesecake

== Description ==
Recipe from the sneaky kitchen.
== Ingredients ==
* 6 oz pkg. cherry flavored gelatin (or two 3-oz pkgs.)
* 1 lb can whole cranberry sauce
* 1 can sour cherries
* 1 recipe Double-rich Vanilla Pudding
* 1 packet unflavored gelatin
* 1 tsp corn starch, rounded
* ½ cup fat free sour cream
* ¼ tsp almond extract
* 1¾ cups water, divided
== Directions ==
# Bring 1½ cups of water to a boil. Add cherry gelatin and stir until dissolved. 
# Add cranberry sauce and stir to break up and dissolve the sauce. 
# Stir until all the jelled cranberry has melted and only the cranberries remain whole. 
# Drain the cherry juice into a bowl, using a non-metallic colander. 
# Mush the cherries with your fingers to further drain the juice and break up the cherries into small pieces. When cherries are completely drained, add them to the gelatin/cranberry combination. 
# Put the cherry juice into a two-cup measuring cup. 
# Add enough ice cubes (or water) to make almost but not quite 2 cups. 
# Add to the cherry-berry mix, stirring until the ice cubes are entirely melted. 
# Pour into a 3-quart casserole or other dish. Chill until gelatin is set. 
# Put ¼ cup of water into a glass bowl or measuring cup. 
# Add the unflavored gelatin and let set for two or three minutes to soften. 
# Place in the microwave for 30 seconds to melt, or heat in a small pan over medium-low heat. 
# Make the vanilla pudding according to instructions, but adding an extra rounded teaspoon of cornstarch. (If you don't use egg yolks, use two teaspoons of extra cornstarch instead of one.) 
# At the end, mix in the extra ½ cup of fat-free sour cream, the melted unflavored gelatin, plus ¼ teaspoon of almond extract and remove from heat. 
# Allow the pudding to cool to barely warm, stirring from time to time so a skin doesn't form. 
# Pour gently on top of the cherry-berry gelatin mixture. 
# Chill thoroughly for several hours until firm, preferably overnight.
