For an even richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips. Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the batter. The water bath is crucial for preventing cracks in the cheesecake. Make sure to replenish the water if it evaporates during baking. Be patient during the cooling process to prevent the cheesecake from sinking. Garnish with whipped cream or chocolate shavings for an extra touch.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 500°F (260°C). Place a roasting pan filled with water on the bottom rack. Grease a 10-inch springform pan. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1/2 cup chocolate chips and butter in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Stir in graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, water, and cinnamon. Press into the bottom and slightly up the sides of the prepared pan. (10 minutes)
03
StepIn a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract. Reserve 1/3 of the cream cheese mixture. Pour the remaining 2/3 batter into the prepared crust. (15 minutes)
04
StepGently fold melted chocolate into the reserved 1/3 cream cheese mixture. Pour the chocolate mixture over the white filling. Swirl with a knife for a marbled effect. Sprinkle chopped cherries evenly over the top. Place the springform pan on a baking sheet. (10 minutes)
05
StepBake on the top rack for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 200°F (95°C) and continue baking for 60 minutes, or until the edges are puffed and set, but the center still jiggles slightly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake rest inside with the door closed for 90 minutes. (10 minutes)
06
StepCarefully run a thin knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the cheesecake. Let cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours. (3 hours 30 minutes)
07
StepIn a saucepan, whisk together cornstarch and reserved cherry juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 5-7 minutes. Let cool completely. (15 minutes)
08
StepPour the cooled cherry sauce over the cheesecake. Arrange halved cherries on top. Drizzle with melted chocolate. Refrigerate for at least 2 more hours before serving. (2 hours)
