Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| All-purpose flour | 3/4 cup |
| Sugar | 2 cups |
| Salt | 1 tsp |
| Butter | 1/4 cup |
| Cream cheese | 1 lb |
| Sugar | 3/4 cup |
| All-purpose flour | 1/4 cup |
| Vanilla extract | 2 tsp |
| Eggs | 6 |
| Sour cream | 1 cup |
| Semisweet chocolate | 1/2 cup |
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the crust: In a bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup sugar, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Fold in 2 tablespoons of melted chocolate. Press the mixture into the bottom of an ungreased 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes or until light brown. Let it cool.
- Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (165°C).
- Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and remaining sugar until fluffy. Add the flour and vanilla, blending well. Mix in the eggs one at a time, beating just until blended. Stir in the sour cream.
- Create the marbled effect: Transfer 1 3/4 cups of the filling to a separate bowl and stir in the reserved chocolate.
- Assemble the cheesecake: Pour half of the plain filling into the pan with the crust. Dot spoonfuls of the chocolate filling on top. Pour the remaining plain filling over the chocolate and swirl with a knife.
- Bake the cheesecake: Bake at 325°F (165°C) for 60-70 minutes or until the center is about set. Remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes before removing the sides of the pan.
- Chill: Allow the cheesecake to cool for 2-3 hours, then refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight before serving.
- Serve: Cut into slices and enjoy the rich, marbled goodness!
Additional Tips:
- Placing a shallow pan of water on the bottom shelf rack will help keep the surface of the cheesecake moist and prevent cracks.
