Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Cream:

In a mixer, combine cream cheese, sugar and drink powder and beat until smooth.
Scrape down the sides of the bowl occasionally to ensure everything is completely combined. Add the whipped topping and mix until fully incorporated. Gently fold in the chopped cherries.

Sponge cake:

Pour cherry water and almond extract into a spray bottle and shake to combine (you can use a pastry brush instead of a spray bottle).
Place a layer of chocolate dessert on the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle with cherry water to lightly moisten but not soak. Spread half the cream on the cake, add another layer of sponge cake, drizzle with cherry water, and cover with cream. Sprinkle with almonds.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Serve with ice cream or sorbet.
