Ingredients

For the Crust:

  • 1 ½ cups chocolate cookie crumbs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 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
  • Chocolate shavings, for garnish

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!
