Chocolate Frosted Marble Cheesecake Recipes

CHOCOLATE FROSTED MARBLE CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Wrap the outside of a 10-inch springform pan with aluminum foil.
• Mix the chocolate graham cracker crumbs, 3 tablespoons sugar, and the butter in a bowl until thoroughly combined; press into the bottom of the springform pan.
• Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven. Turn the oven's heat up to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese for a few seconds with an electric mixer set on medium speed until fluffy and smooth. Beat in 3/4 cup sugar and the flour until the mixture is smooth; beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the milk and vanilla extract. Beat the cream cheese filling until very smooth and well combined, about 3 minutes.
• Spoon 2/3 of the cream cheese filling into the springform pan in an even layer over the crust. Melt 3 ounces of chocolate chips over low heat in a saucepan, stirring constantly until smooth, and mix in the remaining third of the filling. Pour the chocolate filling in a swirl pattern over the white filling; use a table knife to cut through the filling and swirl it into a decorative marble design.
• Place the springform pan into a roasting pan and add enough water to the roasting pan to reach 1 inch deep. Place the springform pan with the roasting pan water bath into the oven and bake until the filling is set, 40 to 45 minutes.
• When finished baking, remove the springform pan from the water bath and set the pan onto a cooling rack for 10 minutes; remove foil from around the pan. Loosen the edge of the cheesecake from the pan with a thin, sharp knife. Release the spring from the pan, remove the ring, and allow the cheesecake to cool for 15 more minutes. Wrap the cheesecake in plastic wrap and refrigerate until cold, at least 2 hours.
• To make frosting, melt 8 ounces of chocolate chips in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth, and mix in the sour cream until smooth and well combined. Frost the cheesecake with the frosting and refrigerate 10 minutes to set the frosting before serving. Refrigerate leftovers.

MARBLED PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE + WHITE CHOCOLATE FROSTING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• FILLING - Prepare the filling first to chill while crust bakes. In a large bowl, beat together in mixer: cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract. Then mix the rest together with spoon by hand -- less air after adding eggs means less cracking in your cheesecake later! Add eggs one at a time, mixing after each one.
• Set aside 1/2 of the mixture in a medium bowl. The remaining 1/2 add: pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove - mix together well. Put the plain filling and the pumpkin filling in the fridge while making your crust; this will give it a chance to thicken and will marble nicely later.
• CRUST - In a medium bowl mix together: graham crust, cinnamon, ginger, pumpkin pie spice and butter. Press into the bottom of a spring-form pan. Bake crust in oven at 350 F for 10 minute.
• MARBLE THE CHEESECAKE - Start with the pumpkin filling and add it on top of the crust. Drop spoonfuls of the plain filling throughout. Take a knife and swirl the pumpkin filling to make marble effect. Have fun with it!
• BAKING - (Optional) Put a pan 1/2 filled with water, in the oven on the bottom rack. This will steam and also help the cheesecake not to crack as it bakes. Bake cheesecake in oven at 350 F for 1 hr 15 minute Once done, remove from oven and run a knife around the edge of the pan (this will keep your cheesecake from cracking as it cools). Chill in the fridge.
• FROSTING - Use a chilled bowl & beaters, beat together cream in a mixer, until frothy. Once a little frothy, add gradually: icing sugar, white chocolate pudding powder, cream of tarter. Whip until thick. Spread on chilled cheesecake. Add white chocolate bar squares (optional). Enjoy!
