Black Forest Cheesecake

Instructions

1 Heat oven to 350. Combine the oreo crumbs and melted butter and press into the
springform pan in the bottom and up the sides. Bake for about 8 minutes. Cool
completely and reduce oven to 300 degrees.
2 In a mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese and sugar on medium
low until totally smooth. Add the vanilla and cocoa powder and beat again until
combined, scraping down the sides as needed.
3 Add the sour cream and mix to combine. Add the melted chocolate in 3 parts,
mixing in between until it fully smooth and mixed in. Add the eggs one at a
time, beating in between. When the batter is fully smooth, press through a fine
mesh strainer into a bowl to make sure any lumps are removed. Spoon into the
crust and level the top.
4 Wrap the bottom/sides of the pan with two layers of heavy duty foil and place in
a large oven safe dish. Place into the oven, then fill the outside dish with
boiling water so that it comes about 1/2 way up the springform pan.
5 Bake until it is still jiggly in the center but set at the edges. I find that an
instant read thermometer is the very best way to be sure you don't overbake and
get that wonderful creamy texture you are looking for. The cheesecake is ready
when the center is 145 degrees.
6 Turn the oven off, remove the pan from the water and leave just the springform
pan with your cheesecake in the oven with the door cracked for 30 minutes to
allow it to cool slowly which prevents cracking. Then cool fully before adding
topping.
7 Combine all the ingredients in a small sauce pan and heat over medium low. Cook
until the cherries release their juices and the sauce thickens up. Cool most of
the way, then spread on top of the cooled down cheesecake. Place this in the
fridge overnight (cover with plastic wrap once its fully cool).
8 Combine the gelatin and water and heat for 10 seconds in the microwave to
dissolve. Add the the cream/vanilla in a stand mixer and beat with whisk until
stiff peaks are formed. Place into a piping bag and pipe onto the cheesecake.
