This Decadent Chocolate Swirl Cheesecake features a rich chocolate cookie crust layered with creamy cheesecake filling infused with swirls of luscious dark and white chocolate for an irresistible dessert experience.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 200g chocolate cookie crumbs
  • 100g melted butter

Filling

  • 500g cream cheese, softened
  • 150g sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 200ml melted dark chocolate
  • 100ml white chocolate, melted for swirling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs with the melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press this evenly into the base of a springform cake pan to form the crust. Set aside.
  2. Make the cheesecake batter: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition to ensure a smooth batter.
  3. Layer the batter and chocolate: Pour half of the cheesecake mixture over the crust in the pan. Drizzle the melted dark chocolate evenly on top, then pour the remaining cheesecake mixture over it to cover.
  4. Add white chocolate swirls: Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the top of the batter in thin streams, then use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl it into the surface, creating a marbled effect.
  5. Bake the cheesecake: Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F). Bake the cheesecake for approximately 50 minutes until the edges are set but the center still slightly jiggles when shaken gently.
  6. Cool and chill: Remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature. Then refrigerate it for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to set fully before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use softened cream cheese to ensure a smooth batter without lumps.
  • For best results, melt chocolates gently over a double boiler or in short bursts in the microwave to avoid overheating.
  • Allow the cheesecake to chill thoroughly to develop its creamy texture and make slicing easier.
  • Store leftovers tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • To enhance the chocolate flavor, use high-quality dark and white chocolates with at least 60% cocoa content.
