- Make the Crust:
- In a bowl, mix the chocolate cookie crumbs with melted butter until evenly combined.
- Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch (23cm) springform pan. Chill in the fridge while preparing the filling.
- Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
- Beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Add vanilla extract.
- Gently fold in the whipped cream until fully incorporated.
- Swirl in the cherry preserves (don’t overmix—you want those beautiful streaks!).
- Assemble the Cheesecake:
- Pour the filling over the crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, or until firm.
- Decorate with Cherries and Chocolate:
- Once the cheesecake is set, arrange the cherries on top.
- Heat the heavy cream and pour it over the chocolate. Stir until smooth, creating a ganache. Drizzle over the cherries and cheesecake.
- Chill Again:
- Let the cheesecake chill for another 30 minutes to set the topping.
- Serve and Indulge:
- Carefully release the cheesecake from the springform pan. Slice and serve this decadent dessert that’s equal parts elegance and indulgence! 🍫🍒
