Prepare yourself for a showstopping dessert with this luscious Black Forest Cheesecake. With an irresistible Oreo cookie crust and a creamy chocolate cheesecake filling, topped with cherries and whipped cream, this no-bake wonder is the ultimate indulgence, perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth.
Blend the Oreo cookies in a food processor until well crushed.
Add in the salted butter and blend until it forms the consistency of wet sand.
Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan and cover with plastic wrap. Place in the freezer while you prepare the cheesecake filling.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar and cocoa powder with a mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Add in the sour cream and beat until combined.
Fold in the cup of cherry pie filling. Be gentle so you don't crush the cherries.
Gently fold in the whipped topping and then spread the filling into the prepared crust and cover again with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, if possible.
When you are ready to serve, pipe the whipped topping onto the edges of the cheesecake using a piping bag and a large piping tip.
Place the remaining cherry pie filling onto the middle of the cheesecake, inside the whipped topping.
Garnish with chocolate shavings, if using. Cut into slices and serve.
