2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 pt heavy whipping cream

- In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Slowly pour in the heavy whipping cream, stirring until incorporated. Add the sugar, vanilla extract, and salt, and continue beating until smooth. Gradually mix in the cocoa powder until fully combined.

Notes
For a flavor twist, try different fruit fillings like strawberry, blueberry, or raspberry.
If you prefer a different crust, substitute with regular graham cracker crumbs or crushed Oreos.
For extra decadence, drizzle melted chocolate over the top before adding the cherry filling.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days or freeze for later use.
Refrigerating overnight helps improve the texture and flavor.
