  4. In a large bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
  5. Stir in the sour cream and vanilla extract until fully blended.
  6. Add the eggs one at a time; ensure each is incorporated before adding the next.
  7. Fold in the melted chocolate until the filling is uniform.
  8. Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top.
  9. Bake for 50-60 minutes, until the center is mostly set but still slightly wobbly.
  10. Turn off the oven, crack the door slightly, and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour.
  11. Spread the cherry pie filling evenly over the top once cooled.
  12. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow it to set; garnish before serving.
