Black Forest Cheesecake

This black forest cheesecake is ultra creamy, chocolatey, layered and topped with tart cherry and kirsch sauce, and piled high with vanilla whipped cream. Adding both melted chocolate and cocoa powder into the cheesecake results in the most incredible creamy texture and intense, decadent chocolate flavor. The texture is almost like a mix between a cheesecake and a chocolate mousse! Traditionally, black forest cake is made using tart cherries so that's what I used in the cheesecake. If you can only find dark sweet cherries - those are a delicious alternative. There is an alcohol free option to make this black forest cheesecake if you prefer.
