Line the bottom and sides of an 8-inch springform pan with plastic wrap; set aside.
Beat cheeses in the bowl of an electric mixer at medium speed until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and cinnamon. Slowly add melted chocolate, beating at low speed until blended. Stir in chopped cherries and almonds.
Evenly spread the mixture into the prepared pan, pressing with a spatula to remove any air bubbles. Cover and chill at least 8 hours. Unmold the pate, remove plastic wrap, and transfer onto a serving plate. Press wafer crumbs into the sides of the spread. Serve at room temperature with chocolate cookies.
