- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips, melted
- Pink food coloring
For the Chocolate Ganache:
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a bowl, mix chocolate cookie crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until combined.
- Add Whipped Cream: Fold in whipped cream until smooth and creamy.
- Divide Batter: Divide the cheesecake batter into two separate bowls.
- Chocolate Mixture: In one bowl, mix in melted semisweet chocolate until fully combined.
- Pink Mixture: In the other bowl, add pink food coloring and mix until desired color is achieved.
- Layer in Pan: Alternate spoonfuls of chocolate and pink cheesecake batter onto the crust in the springform pan, creating a swirl pattern.
- Swirl: Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the colors together for a marbled effect.
- Refrigerate: Refrigerate while preparing the chocolate ganache.
- Make Ganache: Heat heavy cream in a saucepan until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour over semisweet chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Let sit for 1 minute, then stir until smooth and glossy.
- Add Ganache: Pour chocolate ganache over the chilled cheesecake, spreading evenly.
- Chill: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until set.
- Serve: Before serving, garnish with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or fresh berries if desired.
