Black Forest Cheesecake

I found this recipe on real mom kitchen and had to try it! Doesn't that look yummy!!!

I planned to try it for Thanksgiving, but was worried it would be tooo heavy after eating turkey and......everything else in site! So I made it for Sunday dinner and it was super easy and super yummy! (You don't even have to bake this!)

I will never complain about something with chocolate in it (well usually) and this one had a great balance of some chocolate and some not! This was all I had leftover after dinner!

Thanks real mom kitchen for another great recipe!

Black Forest Cheesecake

• 1 pkg (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 1 carton (8 ounces) whipped topping, thawed
• 1 chocolate crumb crust (8 inches)
• 1/4 cup baking cocoa
• 1 tbsp powdered sugar
• 1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling (I forgot to bring this, but loved it without it)

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Beat in the sour cream and vanilla. Fold in whipped topping. Spread half of the mixture evenly into the crust.

Fold cocoa and powdered sugar into remaining whipped topping mixture ( I actually had to use a wire whisk a little to make sure the cocoa was mixed in); carefully spread over cream cheese layer. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.

Cut into slices; top each slice with cherry pie filling. Refrigerate leftovers.

Yield: 6-8 servings
