Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Chocolate sandwich cookies (crushed)
- 1 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
- 24 oz Cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp Vanilla extract
- 3 large Eggs
- 6 oz Bittersweet chocolate (melted)
- 1 cup Heavy cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (162°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and set aside.
In a medium bowl, mix the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies with the melted butter until well combined.
Press the cookie mixture evenly onto the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form the crust. Place the pan in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the granulated sugar and mix until incorporated.
Add the vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture and mix well.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Do not overmix.
In a separate bowl, gently fold the melted bittersweet chocolate into 1 cup of the cream cheese mixture to create the chocolate ribbon mixture.
Pour half of the plain cream cheese filling into the prepared crust. Drizzle half of the chocolate mixture over the plain filling, then use a knife to swirl gently, creating a ribbon effect.
Repeat with the remaining plain filling and chocolate mixture, swirling again to create a marbled look.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until the center is slightly set but still jiggles slightly when gently shaken.
Turn off the oven and allow the cheesecake to cool inside with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour to prevent cracking.
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Once cool, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to develop.
To serve, carefully release the springform pan and slice the cheesecake into even pieces. Optionally, garnish with whipped cream or additional chocolate shavings.
