Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups crushed chocolate cookies (like Oreo)
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 4 8-oz packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 cups canned black cherries or fresh
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • q.s. chocolate shavings or curls for garnish
  • q.s. fresh cherries for garnish

Equipment

  • Electric mixer
  • Mixing bowls
  • Baking sheet
  • 9-inch springform pan
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Mix the crushed chocolate cookies and melted butter until well combined. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan and bake at 325°F (163°C) for 10 minutes. Let it cool.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in sour cream, melt chocolate chips and fold into the mixture. Pour over the cooled crust and smooth the top.
  3. Place the springform pan on a baking sheet and bake at 325°F (163°C) for 60-70 minutes, until center is set. Leave oven door slightly open for about an hour to prevent cracking, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  4. In a saucepan, combine cherries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until thickened (5-7 minutes). Cool completely.
  5. Spread the cooled cherry topping over the chilled cheesecake. Garnish with chocolate shavings and fresh cherries. Serve and enjoy!
