Chocolate Cherry Cheesecake

Ingredients

For the base:

Cookies 300g

Butter 150g

For the filling:

Cream cheese 500g

Sugar 150g

Eggs 200g

Chocolate 1 tsp

Vanilla sugar 150g

Cherries 150g

Nuts

Mix the crushed cookies and butter in a bowl. Spread the mixture in the bottom of a baking dish. Bake at 175°C (350°F) for 8 minutes. Let cool.

In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth, add the sugar and vanilla, and mix well. Add the eggs, beat slowly, then add the melted chocolate, mixing well again.

 Carefully fold in the cherries and nuts, pour into the pan over the baked base, and bake at 175°C (350°F) for 50-55 minutes. Let cool to room temperature and refrigerate.

Meanwhile, melt the chocolate in a saucepan over a double boiler, add the butter, let cool slightly, and pour this sauce over the cooled cheesecake. Refrigerate the cheesecake until serving.

Enjoy!
