Best Black Forest Cheesecake

My Tips for the Best Black Forest Cheesecake

  • Use full‑fat cream cheese and room‑temperature ingredients so the filling mixes ultra‑smooth and creamy.​
  • Don’t overbeat once the eggs are added; gentle mixing helps prevent cracks and keeps the texture dense and silky.​
  • Bake in a water bath and cool slowly in the oven for the most even bake and minimal surface cracking.​
  • Chill thoroughly—overnight is ideal—so the flavors deepen and the cheesecake slices cleanly into tall, beautiful wedges.

Black Forest Cheesecake takes a bit of time between baking, cooling, and chilling, but the result is a luxurious, make‑ahead dessert that brings together chocolate, cherries, and cream in every bite.
