Description

A delicious, rich No Bake Black Forest Cheesecake with a dark chocolate crust, a fluffy cream cheese layer, and a generous topping of cherry pie filling and fresh cherries. The perfect easy, chilled dessert!

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 1/2 cups crushed chocolate cookies (Oreos or digestives)

  • 1/4 cup melted butter

  • 400g (14 oz) cream cheese

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 cup whipped cream or Cool Whip

  • 1 1/2 cups cherry pie filling or fresh cherry compote

  • 1 cup fresh black and red cherries

  • Dark chocolate curls or shavings, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare Crust: Mix crushed cookies with melted butter and press into a springform pan. Chill for 15 minutes.

  2. Make Filling: Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Fold in whipped cream.

  3. Chill Filling: Spread filling over the crust. Chill for 1 hour.

  4. Top & Finish: Spoon cherry compote over the top. Pile fresh cherries and chocolate curls on top. Chill until firm, about 3–4 hours. Slice and serve.

Notes

  • Cream Cheese: Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature before blending; this prevents lumps and ensures the smoothest possible filling.

     

  • Whipped Cream: Gently folding in the whipped cream is key to keeping the filling light and airy.

  • Creative Variation: Add a splash of cherry liqueur (Kirschwasser or brandy) to the filling for a grown-up twist.

  • Serving Slices: Dip your knife in hot water and wipe it clean between each slice for the cleanest, sharpest presentation.

  • Freezing: You can freeze the cheesecake before adding the fresh cherry topping. Thaw overnight and garnish before serving.

  • Prep Time: 20 minutes
