Well... I intended to make this recipe the exact way it was in the recipe, but the store I went to didnt have Chocolate Wafers so I got Chocolate Grahams instead and I think the Cheesecake overpowered the crust. Maybe I will try oreos next time! I also took some of the juice from the cherries and stirred it in with the white chocolate drizzle for the top. It gave it more of a cherry flavor and the now pink drizzle made it more cherry like. Awesome flavor though. Not crazy about the pecans though. Will probably use the almond extract next time. Great recipe though. Thanks!

Wow, this was seriously good. Made just a couple adjustments...skipped the nuts and added a little bit of almond extract to the cheesecake. Then instead of the layer of chocolate on top, I made ganache (3/4 c. cream and 12 oz chocolate chips melted together) and spread that on top. It was the perfect amount cherry to chocolate ratio. LOVE it! Thank you for sharing!

This was on awesome recipe. I made it for Valentine's dinner. It was a great cheesecake. The only change I made was I did not rinse the cherries and I poured some of the cherry juice into the cheesecake batter to give it a more flavorful taste.

I made this for my son's birthday upon request. It was such a hit my husband wants it for his birthday, and friends would like for me to bring to future parties. Not hard to make and very yummy!

Yum Yum, this was so easy and VERY tasty. I used chocolate graham crackers for the crust and whirred the drained cherries in my mini-chopper. I will be making this dessert again.

I decided to use almonds instead of pecans, and it was a great match with the cherries! Also, instead of 1/2 an ounce of white chocolate for on top, I used a full ounce. For all of the cheesecakes I make, I wrap the bottom of my springform in aluminum foil, place it in the bottom half of a broiler pan and pour about an inch of hot water into the pan. This keeps them from drying/cracking. Also, after the time called for in the recipe, I turn off the oven and let it sit inside for an hour. The consistency is perfect every time! This was definitely a hit, and I plan on keeping the recipe for the future.

I make a lot of different cheesecakes, and I truly think this is the best one! It is a great holiday dessert. I do not add the nuts (since chocolate covered cherries don't have them!), but otherwise the recipe works great!
