Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams graham cracker crumbs
- 85 grams unsalted butter, melted
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 680 grams cream cheese, softened
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 240 milliliters sour cream
- 120 grams semi-sweet chocolate, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 160°C (325°F) and prepare a 9-inch (23cm) springform pan by greasing it lightly.
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, 50 grams of granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of the springform pan to form an even crust. Use the back of a spoon or the bottom of a glass to press it firmly. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and 200 grams of granulated sugar together with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract and sour cream until fully incorporated.
Set aside about 1/3 cup of the cheesecake batter in a separate small bowl.
Melt the semi-sweet chocolate (using a double boiler or microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring frequently). Allow the chocolate to cool slightly, then mix it into the reserved batter until fully combined.
Pour the vanilla cheesecake batter into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly. Dollop spoonfuls of the chocolate mixture over the top of the vanilla batter.
Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the chocolate batter into the vanilla batter, creating a marble effect. Take care not to overmix.
Place the pan on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges of the cheesecake are set but the center is slightly jiggly when gently shaken.
Turn off the oven, crack the oven door slightly, and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour. This helps prevent the cheesecake from cracking.
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or, preferably, overnight before serving.
Run a knife around the edges of the pan before releasing the springform. Slice and serve your Royal Marble Cheesecake chilled for the best experience.
