Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 cups cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups cherry pie filling, for topping
• Chocolate shavings, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Set aside.
2. Make the Filling: In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
3. Combine: Gently fold the melted chocolate and vanilla extract into the cream cheese mixture, then carefully fold in the whipped cream until fully incorporated.
4. Assemble: Pour the chocolate filling over the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
5. Add Cherry Topping: Once set, spread the cherry pie filling evenly over the top of the cheesecake. Optionally, garnish with chocolate shavings.
6. Serve: Carefully remove the sides of the springform pan, slice, and enjoy your delicious No-Bake Chocolate Cherry Cheesecake!
