Ingredients:
– 1 ½ cups crushed chocolate cookies
– 3 cups cream cheese, softened
– 2 cups heavy cream
– 1 cup powdered sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup cherries, pitted and halved
– ½ cup cherry juice
– ½ cup dark chocolate shavings
– 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
– 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
– 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
Instructions:
1. Begin by preparing your crust. In a bowl, mix the crushed chocolate cookies with melted butter, and press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan. Set aside and let it chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined.
3. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and well incorporated.
4. Layer half of the cream cheese mixture over the chilled crust. Evenly distribute half of the halved cherries on top, followed by a drizzle of cherry juice.
5. Add the remaining cream cheese mixture, smoothing it out, and then layer the rest of the cherries on top.
6. Finish with dark chocolate shavings sprinkled over the top for a decadent finish.
7. Cover the cheesecake and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, to allow it to set properly.
8. Once set, slice and serve chilled, enjoying the deep, luscious flavors of your Black Forest Cheesecake Delight!
