Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup crushed chocolate cookies (e.g., Oreos)
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup fresh cherries, pitted and halved
  • 1/2 cup whipped cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix crushed chocolate cookies with melted butter until it resembles wet sand.
  2. Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. Firmly press about 2 tablespoons of the cookie mixture into each liner to form the crust.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat softened cream cheese with sugar until smooth. Add vanilla extract and mix well.
  4. Gently fold in melted chocolate until fully combined.
  5. Spoon or pipe cheesecake filling into each crust until nearly full.
  6. Bake for about 20 minutes until set but slightly wobbly in the center. Cool completely before refrigerating for at least four hours.
