  • Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted 🧈

For the Cheesecake:

  • 2 cups cream cheese, softened 🧀
  • 1/2 cup sugar 🍬
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 🍫
  • 2 eggs 🥚
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 🍦

For the Topping and Garnish:

  • 1 cup cherry pie filling 🍒
  • Chocolate shavings (for garnish) 🍫

Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Crust:

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine 1 cup graham cracker crumbs with 1/4 cup melted butter.
  3. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, ensuring an even layer. Set aside.

2️⃣ Make the Cheesecake Filling:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together until creamy and smooth.
  2. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition to avoid lumps.
  3. Stir in the vanilla extract and unsweetened cocoa powder until fully combined.

3️⃣ Assemble the Cheesecake:

  1. Pour the cream cheese mixture evenly over the prepared crust in the springform pan.
  2. Gently dollop cherry pie filling on top of the cheesecake layer.
  3. Create a stunning marbled effect by swirling the cherry pie filling into the cheesecake using a knife or skewer.

4️⃣ Bake the Cheesecake:

  1. Place the cheesecake in the preheated oven and bake for 50 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
  2. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool at room temperature.

5️⃣ Chill and Garnish:

  1. Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best texture and flavor.
  2. Before serving, garnish with chocolate shavings and an optional scoop of cherry pie filling for extra indulgence.

Notes

  • Avoid Overmixing: Be gentle when mixing the batter to prevent incorporating too much air, which can lead to cracks.
  • Use Room-Temperature Ingredients: Softened cream cheese and room-temperature eggs ensure a smooth, creamy texture.
  • Water Bath for Even Baking: If you want to prevent cracks, place the springform pan in a water bath during baking.
