Instructions

Get prepped

  1. Grease a 9-inch springform pan with butter or and set it aside. Crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs if not already prepared.

Make the crust

  1. In a small bowl, combine the chocolate graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and melted butter, using your fingertips to ensure all the crumbs are coated in butter.
  2. Firmly press the crumbs into the greased springform pan. Place the crust in the freezer for 20 minutes or until it is firm.

Make the cheesecake filling

  1. While the crust is freezing, use an electric mixer to mix the cream cheese, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  2. Add the melted chocolate and salt and continue mixing. Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until thoroughly combined.

Assemble the cheesecake

  1. Spoon the cheesecake filling over the frozen crust and spread it out evenly.
  2. Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until the cheesecake is fully set.

Serve

  1. Run a thin knife around the edge of the cheesecake to help release it from the pan, then carefully remove the outer ring. Transfer the cheesecake to a cake platter or a large plate.
  2. Place the sour cherries evenly on top of the cheesecake and garnish with whipped cream and chocolate shavings if desired. Serve chilled.

Notes

  • Store any leftover cheesecake in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, covered with plastic wrap. For longer storage, freeze the cheesecake for up to 2 months without the cherries. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
