Como fazer The Ultimate Black Forest Cheesecake
- **Make the crust:** In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups of graham cracker crumbs, ¼ cup granulated sugar, and 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) of melted unsalted butter. Press firmly into the bottom of an ungreased 10-inch springform pan. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- **Prepare the filling:** In a large bowl, beat 3 (8 ounce) packages of cream cheese and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy (about 5 minutes).
- **Add cocoa:** Beat in ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder until fully incorporated.
- **Incorporate eggs:** Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- **Continue beating:** Beat for another 5 minutes until the batter is light and fluffy.
- **Add cream and vanilla:** Gradually add 1 cup heavy whipping cream and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract. Beat until well combined.
- **Fold in cherries:** Gently fold in 1 (15 ounce) can of cherry pie filling, reserving some for the topping.
- **Pour and bake:** Pour the batter over the chilled crust. Bake in a preheated 325°F (160°C) oven for 75 minutes, or until the center is almost set. A slight jiggle is okay.
- **Cool and set:** Run a paring knife around the edges of the cheesecake to prevent cracking as it cools. Let it cool completely in the springform pan before refrigerating.
- **Prepare the topping:** Spread the remaining cherry pie filling over the cooled cheesecake. You can also pipe or spoon additional topping around the edges for decoration.
- **Chill:** Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cheesecake to fully set and the flavors to meld.
