Ingredients

Oreo Crust

20 Oreo cookies, ground into fine crumbs in food processor
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Cherry Cheesecake Filling

1-1/2 cups pitted fresh cherries
16 oz cream cheese, softened
1-1/2 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons sweet cherry juice
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1-1/2 cups heavy whipping cream, whipped to stiff peaks
3/4 cup hot fudge sauce
Whipped cream, fresh cherries, and chocolate shavings for topping

Instructions

Oreo Crust

In a medium bowl, combine oreo crumbs and melted butter until crumbs are evenly moistened. Firmly press crumbs into the bottom and 1-inch up the sides of an ungreased 9-inch springform pan with a removeable bottom. Place crust in the freezer while you prepare the filling.

Cherry Cheesecake Filling

Place cherries in a food processor and pulse several times until you get a finely-minced mixture. Set aside for a moment.
Place cream cheese and sugar in a large bowl or stand mixer. With the paddle attachment or a handheld electric mixer, beat on medium speed 1-2 minutes until completely creamy, scraping down sides as necessary. Beat in cherry juice and vanilla extract until smooth.
Very gently fold whipped cream and fresh cherry mixture into cream cheese mixture until just combined. Spoon filling evenly over Oreo crust, smoothing top. Cover pan with plastic wrap and freeze cheesecake 8 hours or overnight.
When ready to serve, remove cheesecake from freezer, remove pan ring, place cheesecake on a plate, and allow to thaw at room temperature 15 minutes. Drizzle hot fudge sauce over top and garnish with whipped cream, cherries, and chocolate shavings. Cut cheesecake into slices and enjoy!
