How to make Cherry Cheesecake with Chocolate Crust
Prepare the Crust
Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
In a bowl, combine chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
Make the Cheesecake Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
Gradually add sugar and vanilla, mixing until well combined.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Blend in the sour cream until smooth.
Assemble and Bake
Pour half of the cheesecake batter onto the crust.
Spoon some cherry pie filling on top, then add the remaining cheesecake batter.
Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set. The edges may puff slightly, but the center should have a slight jiggle.
Cool and Serve
Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside with the door ajar for 1 hour.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Before serving, top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.
Tips & Tricks
Ensure the cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the batter.
For a cleaner slice, wipe the knife with a warm, damp cloth between cuts.
