Cherry Chocolate Cheesecake
Ingredients:
1 ½ cups crushed chocolate cookies (like Oreos)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
16 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup dark chocolate chips, melted and cooled
1 cup fresh cherries, pitted and halved
½ cup cherry jam
1 cup fresh cherries, for topping
½ cup dark chocolate chunks, for garnish
Directions:
Combine the crushed cookies and melted butter. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Refrigerate while you prepare the filling.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla until soft peaks form. Fold into the cream cheese mixture.
Divide the mixture in half. Stir the melted chocolate into one half and fold in the halved cherries into the other.
Layer the chocolate filling onto the crust, followed by the cherry filling. Smooth the top and spread cherry jam evenly.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until firm.
Top with fresh cherries and dark chocolate chunks before serving.
