How to Make Chocolate Cherry Cheesecake Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, beat 16 ounces (2 packages) of cream cheese and 1/2 cup mayonnaise with an electric mixer on medium speed until completely smooth and creamy.
  3. Gradually add 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, beating until well combined.
  4. Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
  5. Stir in 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until the batter is smooth and homogenous.
  6. Pour the batter into your prepared 9-inch pie crust.
  7. Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any spills.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is just set. The edges will be slightly firm.
  9. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack.
  10. Once completely cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the filling to set completely.
  11. Before serving, top with your favorite cherry pie filling (about 1 1/4 cups) and chill for an additional 30 minutes.
  12. Garnish with whipped cream and crushed Andes mints (optional).
