Chocolate Chip Cherry Cheesecake

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 15 min. Bake: 30 min. + chilling YIELD: 6 servings.
I fell in love with cooking when I was 11 years old, and have enjoyed creating and modifying recipes since then. This cheesecake was a big hit when I first made it, and everyone agrees that it's the best flavor combination. —Shelly Klingler, Bloomington, Illinois
