Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 and 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 8 oz dark chocolate, melted and slightly cooled
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup raspberry jam or raspberry sauce
- Fresh raspberries for garnish (optional)
- Whipped cream for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
- Mix the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add the sour cream, melted dark chocolate, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined and smooth.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top.
- Drop spoonfuls of raspberry jam or sauce onto the filling and use a knife or skewer to swirl it gently into the batter.
- Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until the center is just set and slightly jiggly.
- Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour.
- Remove from the oven and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Before serving, top with fresh raspberries and whipped cream if desired.
Notes
- For best results, bring cream cheese and eggs to room temperature before mixing.
- You can use seedless raspberry jam for a smoother swirl.
- Wrap the springform pan in foil and place in a water bath during baking to prevent cracking.
