Ingredients
For the Crust:
- 1 ½ cups chocolate cookie crumbs

- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
For the Topping:
- 1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling

Instructions
- Prepare the Crust:
In a medium bowl, mix the chocolate cookie crumbs with melted butter. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create an even layer. Chill while preparing the filling. - Make the Cheesecake Filling:
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually mix in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until fully combined. - Whip the Cream:
In a separate bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture to create a light, airy filling. - Assemble the Cheesecake:
Spread the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set. - Add the Topping & Serve:
Once set, spread the cherry pie filling evenly over the cheesecake. Garnish with chocolate shavings just before serving. Slice and enjoy this indulgent no-bake treat!
