Black Forest Cheesecake
This is one of those recipes that pack a big punch because they are super easy on the eyes and tastes phenomenal without taking a ton of effort. However, this is a cake that needs to sit overnight so keep that in mind as you plan ahead.
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- Oreos
- Butter
- Cream Cheese
- Sour Cream
- Sugar
- Eggs
- Cocoa Powder
- Melted Chocolate Chips
- Vanilla
- Cherry Pie Filling
- Cool Whip
How To Make Black Forest Cheesecake
- Make the crust. Crush your Oreos, add in the butter and press them into a lined springform pan. Let it sit in the freezer while you move on.
- Make the cheesecake. Mix the cream cheese, sugar and sour cream. Next add in the cocoa, chocolate and vanilla. Lastly, stir in the eggs.
- Bake. Pour the cheesecake over the Oreos, cover with foil and cook in the Instant Pot for 35 minutes, with a natural release for 20.
- Topping. Once your cheesecake has cooled and set completely overnight, pipe whipped cream around the edges and fill the center with cherry pie filling. Add some chocolate sprinkles too, if you’d like.
HOW DO I KNOW WHEN CHEESECAKE IS DONE?
Cheesecakes are done cooking when it’s mostly firm but still has a little bit of a jiggle to it. If the middle is totally firm and not wiggly, it’s probably a little overcooked.
CAN I FREEZE BLACK FOREST CHEESECAKE?
Yes. The best way to do this add slices of parchment paper in between each piece and then wrap the slices in foil before placing in the freezer.
