A rich and creamy cheesecake swirled with chocolate and strawberry puree, perfect for celebrations or a delightful treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup melted butter
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 24 ounces softened cream cheese
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries
  • ¼ cup sugar (for strawberry puree)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 ½ cups of graham cracker crumbs with ½ cup of melted butter and ¼ cup of sugar. Mix until the crumbs are well-coated.
  3. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for about 10 minutes, then remove and let it cool while you prepare the filling.
  4. In a large bowl, beat 24 ounces of softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add 1 cup of sugar and mix until well combined.
  5. Add 3 large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and set the mixture aside.
  6. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 8 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Let it cool slightly before adding it to the cheesecake mixture.
  7. Divide the cheesecake filling in half. Mix the melted chocolate into one half, creating a chocolate cheesecake filling.
  8. In a blender or food processor, puree 1 cup of fresh strawberries with ¼ cup of sugar until smooth. If you like some texture, you can reserve a few strawberry pieces to fold in later.
  9. In the prepared crust, alternate spoonfuls of the plain cheesecake filling and the chocolate filling, dolloping strawberry puree in between. Use a knife or toothpick to swirl the mixtures together, creating a marbled effect.
  10. Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and crack the door open, letting the cheesecake cool slowly for about an hour.
  11. Once cooled, cover the cheesecake and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to fully set.

Notes

Serve with whipped cream or chocolate sauce. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
