We did a very low key dinner at my parents' for New Years. I offered to make dessert and decided on a very decadent black forest cheesecake. (Oh, by the way, I got a stand mixer for Christmas!!!)
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cup Oreo baking crumbs
1/4 cup butter, melted
3 pkgs (8 oz) cream cheese, room temperature
3/4 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
6 bars semi-sweet baking chocolate, melted
3 large eggs
1 can cherry pie filling
2 cups whipped cream
Directions:
1. Mix melted butter and Oreo baking crumbs. Press into bottom of 10'' springform pan. Set aside.
2. Cream sugar with cream cheese until smoothed.
3. Add vanilla and melted chocolate. Mix thoroughly.
4. Add one egg at a time, but do not over mix. Mix until just incorporated.
5. Pour half of the mix onto the crumb crust.
6. Drop 6 tbsp of cherry pie filling on the first layer of mix. Lightly swirl to incorporate.
7. Cover with remaining cheese mix.
8. Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes.
9. Chill for one to two hours.
10. Cover with remaining cherry pie filling.
11. Pipe whipped cream around top edges and decorate as desired (e.g. glazed cherries).
12. Enjoy.
