Top to bottom, this velvety, voluptuous cheesecake is a total showstopper. The tangy topping crowned with dark chocolate curls and juicy, glistening, ruby-red cherries might make you temporarily forget strawberries even exist…while the crunch of the chocolate crust will make you crumble. Just when you thought cheesecake couldn’t possibly get any better, it did.
