Instructions
Mix the cream cheese in the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment (or using a hand mixer and a large bowl) until it's smooth.
Add the cherry pie filling and mix until well combined.
Measure the chocolate chips and butter into a heat-resistant bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until creamy and smooth.
Gently pour the melted chocolate into the cream cheese mixture while it mixes on low speed until well combined.
Using a rubber spatula, spread the chocolate cherry cheesecake filling evenly into the crust. Let the cheesecake chill in the refrigerator for about 2 hours or overnight.
Cut into slices and serve. Top with whipped cream if desired.
Notes
Use a rubber spatula to smooth the chocolate cheesecake over the crust.
Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature and mixed well so there are no clumps in your cherry chocolate cheesecake.
Be sure to chill it long enough so it has time to firm up.
Store the chocolate cherry cheesecake in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
The cheesecake can be frozen for up to 1 month. Before serving, place it in the refrigerator overnight to let it thaw.
