Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cup chocolate cookie crumbs You can easily make these from crushed chocolate cookies.
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter Melted for easy mixing.
- 16 oz cream cheese Make sure it's softened for smooth blending.
- 1 cup sugar Regular granulated sugar works best.
- 1 cup sour cream Adds a nice creamy tang.
- 3 large eggs Room temperature for the best texture.
- 1 tsp vanilla extract A hint of vanilla elevates the flavor.
- 1 cup cherry pie filling For a delicious topping.
- 0.5 cup dark chocolate shavings For garnish.
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Start by preheating your oven to 325°F (160°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter until well mixed. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan to form the crust.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the sugar and sour cream, mixing well after each addition. Then, incorporate the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing until everything is just combined.
- Pour the cream cheese mixture over the prepared crust in the springform pan. Bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
- Once done, turn off the oven and crack the oven door to let the cheesecake cool down gradually for an hour. Afterward, refrigerate it for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
- Before serving, top the cheesecake with cherry pie filling and sprinkle dark chocolate shavings over it. Slice, serve, and enjoy this delightful treat!
