Ingredients

1 6-ounce Oreo pie crust
1/2 recipe Microwave Chocolate Ganache prepared
8 ounces whipped topping
8 ounces cream cheese softened
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup baking cocoa
15 ounces cherry pie filling
1 dark chocolate candy bar

Instructions

An Oreo pie crust is the base of this recipe. You'll simply remove the lid to prepare it for the next step.
TIP: I like to use a store bought crust for this recipe because it's so incredibly easy, however, if you'd like to make one from scratch, this Perfect Oreo Cookie Crust recipe would be a great substitute.
Prepare Microwave Chocolate Ganache per recipe instructions. Pour ganache into Oreo pie crust and refrigerate for one hour or until mostly set.
TIP: Instead of preparing just 1/2 of the Microwave Chocolate Ganache recipe, I like to prepare the entire recipe. Then if I happen to be a little heavy handed with the ganache, that's okay. (Not that that ever happens!) The leftover ganache stores beautifully in an airtight container in the fridge as a dip for fresh fruit or for another dessert.
In a medium bowl, add whipped topping, cream cheese, powdered sugar and baking cocoa.
Using a handheld mixer, beat together until completely combined and no lumps remain.
Spoon cheesecake mixture over chocolate ganache and spread evenly over pie crust.
Spoon cherry pie filling over cheesecake layer and refrigerate to set, at least one hour.
Prior to serving, use a vegetable peeler to create chocolate curls from the candy bar for garnish.
TIP: This step is completely optional but really elevates the appearance of this crazy easy dessert. If you'd rather not fuss with the chocolate curls and you made an entire recipe of Microwave Chocolate Ganache, you could simply drizzle some of the remaining ganache over the top, too!
