Prepare the Crust
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine chocolate graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then remove and let cool.

Make the Cheesecake Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add in sugar, vanilla extract, and sour cream, mixing until combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just blended. Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust.

Bake the Cheesecake
Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until the center is set and a slight jiggle remains. Turn off the oven and crack the oven door, letting the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour. Remove from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Prepare the Cherry Topping
In a small saucepan, combine the pitted cherries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the cherries have softened and the mixture has thickened slightly. Remove from heat and let cool.

Serve
Once the cheesecake is fully chilled, remove it from the springform pan. Top with the cherry topping before serving. Slice and enjoy your Black Forest Cheesecake!
