Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
In a bowl, mix the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract, sour cream, flour, and cocoa powder.
Fold in the melted chocolate until fully incorporated.
Pour the cheesecake batter over the crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for about 50-60 minutes or until the center is almost set. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour with the oven door slightly ajar.
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Before serving, top the cheesecake with cherry pie filling, dollops of whipped cream, chocolate dribble and fresh cherries for garnish.
Slice and enjoy!
