Instructions

1. Combine crushed chocolate cookies with melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press into a 9-inch pie dish and refrigerate for 20 minutes.

2. Heat heavy cream in a saucepan until steaming but not boiling. Remove from heat and add chopped chocolate. Let sit for a minute, then stir until smooth and glossy. Cool slightly.

3. Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth. Fold in 1 cup of whipped cream.

4. Spread cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled crust. Pour cooled chocolate ganache on top. Chill for at least 1 hour.

5. Once firm, top with cherry pie filling and decorate with the remaining whipped cream.

Notes

Use finely chopped chocolate bars instead of chips for a smoother ganache.

Allow the ganache to cool slightly before layering to avoid melting the cream cheese base.

For extra flair, garnish with chocolate shavings or fresh cherries before serving.
