I use a variation on this recipe with excellent results. Use a chocolate graham pie crust. Whip 8 oz cream cheese with 3/4 cup sugar, 2 eggs and 2 melted squares of semi sweet chocolate together until fluffy. Bake in the crust at 325 for 30 - 35 minutes, cool. Add the cherry topping just before serving. This variation will save time.
