For the Crust:
1 cup crushed chocolate cookies
1/4 cup melted butter
For the Cheesecake Filling:
2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Chocolate Ganache:
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup black cherry syrup
For the Garnish:
1/2 cup chopped black cherries
Chocolate shavings for garnish
Directions
- Crust Creation: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, mix together the crushed chocolate cookies and melted butter. Press this crumbly goodness into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool completely.
Cheesecake Filling Magic: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until they’re smooth and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, blending well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract. Pour this luscious filling over the cooled crust. - Bake to Perfection: Bake the cheesecake for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is set. Allow it to cool completely before moving on to the next step.
Decadent Ganache: In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the heavy cream for 1-2 minutes, or until it’s hot but not boiling. Add in the semisweet chocolate chips and black cherry syrup. Stir until the chocolate is fully melted and the ganache is smooth. - Ganache Overload: Pour the silky chocolate ganache over the cooled cheesecake, spreading it evenly. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or leave it overnight to set.
- Garnish and Devour: Just before serving, top the cheesecake with chopped black cherries and a generous sprinkle of chocolate shavings. Slice, serve, and enjoy your Black Forest Cheesecake masterpiece!
