Ingredients
Crust
- 1 ½ cups chocolate graham cracker crumbs
- ⅛ cup packed brown sugar
- ⅓ cup butter, melted
- 1 pinch salt
Cheesecake Filling
- 16 oz cream cheese (2 packages)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 pint heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup white sugar
- ⅓ cup cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 21 oz cherry pie filling (1 can)
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust:
In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, salt, and melted butter until thoroughly combined. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of a springform pan. Place it in the fridge to chill while preparing the filling. - Make the Filling:
In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese with hand beaters until smooth. Gradually add the heavy whipping cream, stirring continuously until fully incorporated. Add sugar, vanilla, and salt, beating until smooth. Slowly incorporate the cocoa powder into the mixture, beating on medium speed until fully blended. - Assemble and Chill:
Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust and smooth out the top with a spatula. Freeze the cheesecake for 3 hours or refrigerate it overnight for best results. Just before serving, pour the cherry pie filling over the top for a beautifully tangy finish.
