Indulge in a slice of heaven with this rich and creamy Black Forest Cheesecake! A perfect blend of chocolate and cherries.
Ingredients:
– 2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 16 oz cream cheese, softened
– 1 cup powdered sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup sour cream
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup cherry pie filling
– Chocolate shavings for garnish
Directions:
1. First things first, preheat that oven to 325°F (160°C) and make sure it’s nice and toasty.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs with the melted butter until well mixed. Press this delicious mix into the bottom of a springform pan to create a solid crust.
3. Now, grab a large mixing bowl and beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until it’s all smooth and creamy. Then, stir in the sour cream for that extra richness.
4. In another bowl, whip up the heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks—this will give your cheesecake a delightful lightness. Gently fold this whipped cream into your cream cheese mixture.
5. Spread your luscious cheesecake batter over the crust evenly.
6. Pop it in the oven and bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until it’s set. Let it cool once it’s done!
7. After cooling down, spread the cherry pie filling generously on top, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours to let all those flavors meld together.
8. Just before serving, sprinkle some chocolate shavings on top to make it look as good as it tastes!
Enjoy this decadent treat that combines the rich flavors of chocolate and cherries—your friends and family will be begging for seconds!
