What is Chocolate Marble Cheesecake
Chocolate Marble Cheesecake is a variation of the traditional cheesecake, featuring a velvety cream cheese filling swirled with chocolate to create a marbled effect. The contrast between the smooth, tangy cheesecake and the sweet, chocolatey swirls makes for a delightful sensory experience. The crust can vary, but a classic graham cracker crust is often used as a base for this indulgent dessert.

How to Make Chocolate Marble Cheesecake:
Ingredients:
For the Crust:

• 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Filling:

• 4 packages (32 ounces) cream cheese, softened
• 1 1/4 cups sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
2. In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
4. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract, sour cream, and flour until well combined.
5. Pour half of the cream cheese batter over the crust in the pan.
6. Add melted chocolate to the remaining cream cheese batter and mix until fully incorporated.
7. Drop spoonfuls of the chocolate batter over the plain batter in the pan. Use a knife or skewer to create a marbled effect by swirling the chocolate and plain batters together.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes or until the center is set.
9. Allow the cheesecake to cool in the pan, then refrigerate for several hours or overnight before serving.
