How to Make Luscious Black Forest Cheesecake

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. Combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs, ¼ cup (½ stick) unsalted butter, melted, and ¼ cup granulated sugar. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat 3 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
  4. Gradually beat in 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate (melted and cooled), 3 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until completely smooth and well combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared crust.
  6. Bake for 65-75 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set around the edges and the center is just slightly jiggly. A knife inserted near the center should come out with a few moist crumbs attached.
  7. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour. This prevents cracking.
  8. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to fully chill and set.
  10. Before serving, top with 1 (15-ounce) jar cherry pie filling, whipped cream, and chocolate curls.
