# Steps:
01 -
Set your oven to 325°F (160°C) to warm up.

Combine crushed cookies with melted butter. Press into a springform pan to make the base, then leave it aside.

In a big bowl, blend cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth and fluffy.

Beat in eggs one by one, making sure each one is mixed in before adding the next.
05 -
Mix in sour cream and cocoa powder until it's all evenly combined.
06 -
Pour the creamy mixture over the crust you prepared.
07 -
Bake for between 55 to 60 minutes. The edges should rise slightly, and the center needs to look set.
08 -
Switch off the oven, keep the door ajar, and let the cheesecake cool completely inside to prevent cracking.
09 -
After it’s cooled, spread the cherry pie filling over the cheesecake evenly.
10 -
Decorate with whipped cream and sprinkle some chocolate on top.
11 -
Chill in the fridge for no less than 4 hours, or overnight if you can, before slicing and enjoying.
