Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the crust
  • 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the cheesecake filling
  • 4 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs
  • 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, melted

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/3 cup sugar, and melted butter. Stir until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan evenly.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add 1 cup sugar and vanilla extract until fully incorporated. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition until smooth.
  4. Divide the batter in half. Stir melted chocolate into one half of the batter until fully incorporated. Alternate spoonfuls of the chocolate and plain cheesecake batter into the crust. Use a knife to swirl the batters together.
Baking
  1. Bake for 55 minutes to 1 hour or until the edges are set and the center slightly jiggles.
  2. Allow the cheesecake to cool at room temperature before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Notes

Ensure all dairy ingredients are at room temperature for a smoother batter. Using a water bath can help achieve a smooth finish when baking. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
