1 box (about 1 lb 3 oz) fudge brownie mix
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup butter or margarine, melted
2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup chocolate syrup
2 tablespoons water
1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling
Stir together 3/4 cup of the dry brownie mix, flour and melted butter.
Press mix into bottom of an ungreased 9" springform pan.
Should look something like this.
In a large mixing bowl beat cream cheese on medium speed for about 2 minutes, scraping down bowl frequently, until smooth.
Add remaining brownie mix and heavy cream.
Beat on medium speed until just combined.
Add chocolate syrup and water. Beat on low until mostly incorporated, scrape down sides of bowl, and then beat on medium speed until smooth (about 1 minute).
Scoop over crust and spread until level.
Place spring form pan over a cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees F for 45 to 50 minutes or until set. Let cheesecake cool for 20 minutes. Then run a sharp knife or metal icing spatula between the side of the cheesecake and the pan. This step is to loosen the cheesecake away from the pan and to preventing cracking. Top with pie filling, cover, and refrigerate overnight (or for about 6-8 hours until chilled threw out). Before un-molding, run a knife or spatula along sides of cheesecake again. Refrigerate any leftovers.
