Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups chocolate cookie crumbs These create a delicious crust.
  • 0.5 cups butter, melted This combines well with the crumbs.
  • 24 oz cream cheese Be sure to let it soften for easier mixing.
  • 1 cup sugar This adds sweetness to the cheesecake.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract For enhanced flavor.
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cups sour cream Adds a creamy texture.
  • 1 cup cherry pie filling For the topping.
  • 0.5 cups whipped cream Optional for garnish.

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix the chocolate cookie crumbs with melted butter until combined, then press this mixture into the bottom of a springform pan to form the crust.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the vanilla extract, then incorporate the eggs one at a time, making sure each is fully mixed in before adding the next.
  • Finally, stir in the sour cream until everything is well combined. Pour this mixture over your prepared crust and smooth out the top.
  • Bake the cheesecake for around 60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Once done, turn off the oven and crack the door to let the cake cool slowly inside for about an hour.
  • After cooling, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. To serve, top with cherry pie filling and a drizzle of whipped cream for an extra touch.

Notes

This cheesecake is best enjoyed chilled, and you can customize the topping with fresh cherries or chocolate shavings for added flavor.
