Instructions

Making crust base:
Preheat the oven to 180 degree centigrade with a rack in the lower-middle position.
Pulse the cookies and sugar in a grinder to make fine crumbs.
Add the melted butter and process until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
The mixture should look like wet sand and hold together in a clump when you press it in your fist. If not, add extra tablespoons of water/milk (one at a time) until the mixture holds together.
Transfer it into 6-inch springform pan and use the bottom of a glass or back of a spoon to press it evenly into the bottom.
Place the crust in the oven. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes.
Let the crust cool on a cooling rack while you prepare the filling.
Making the Filling:
Place dark chocolate chunks in a bowl and set aside.
Heat the cream in a microwave safe bowl for 30 seconds or until you see bubbles.
Remove carefully and pour evenly on chopped chocolate. Let it sit for 5 minutes undisturbed.
Whisk the ganache and make sure there are no lumps. You'll get smooth and silky ganache.
Assembling:
Pour half of the chocolate filling into the cooled crust.
Add chocolate chips and pour the remaining filling on top.
Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least 8 hours or overnight.
Serving:
Run a thin knife around the sides of the pan and remove the pan sides.
Top with fresh cherries and dust cocoa powder and powdered sugar on top.
Slice and serve chilled.
