Ingredients
1 and 1/2 cups crushed chocolate biscuits
1/4 cup melted butter
3 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 cup cherry pie filling
1/2 cup shaved chocolate, for garnish
Instructions
Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
In a bowl, mix crushed chocolate biscuits with melted butter. Press into a lined 9×13-inch baking dish to form the crust.
In a separate bowl, beat softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition.
Stir in vanilla extract, heavy cream, and cocoa powder until fully blended.
Pour the chocolate cheesecake mixture over the crust and spread evenly.
Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the center is just set.
Cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight).
Once chilled, top with cherry pie filling and garnish with shaved chocolate.
Slice into bars and serve cold.
