How to Make Hershey's Cherry Cordial Creme Cheesecake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a 9-inch round cake pan with foil, letting the foil extend over the edges for easy removal.
- Grease the foil thoroughly.
- In a large bowl, melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter. Stir in 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until combined.
- Add 2 large eggs and beat well with a spoon.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, beating with a spoon until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
- While the cake cools, prepare the frosting: In a medium bowl, beat 8 ounces cream cheese and 1/2 cup powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, beat 1 cup heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
- Once the cake is completely cool, spread the frosting evenly over the top.
- Cover and refrigerate until serving time.
- Use the foil to lift the cake out of the pan. Remove the foil.
- Just before serving, spoon 1/2 cup cherry pie filling into a 5-inch wide heart shape in the center of the dessert.
- Arrange Hershey's Cherry Cordial Kisses around the edge of the cake.
- Cut into wedges and serve. Serve with remaining pie filling on the side.
- Cover and refrigerate any leftover dessert.
