Ingredients
  

Crust

  • 200 grams chocolate cookie crumbs
  • 113 grams unsalted butter melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Cheesecake Filling

  • 907 grams cream cheese softened
  • 200 grams granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 120 ml heavy cream
  • 50 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Raspberry Swirl

  • 200 grams fresh raspberries
  • 50 grams granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Chocolate Ganache

  • 100 grams dark chocolate chopped
  • 120 ml heavy cream

Garnish

  • 100 grams fresh raspberries

Instructions
 

Crust Preparation

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a medium bowl, combine chocolate cookie crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  • Bake for 10 minutes. Let cool completely.

Cheesecake Filling Preparation

  • In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar and beat until well combined.
  • Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  • Stir in heavy cream, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Pour the filling over the cooled crust.

Raspberry Swirl Preparation

  • In a small saucepan, combine fresh raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until raspberries break down and the mixture thickens into a sauce.
  • Strain the raspberry sauce through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds. Let cool slightly.
  • Drizzle spoonfuls of raspberry sauce over the cheesecake filling. Use a toothpick or knife to swirl the sauce into the filling.

Baking the Cheesecake

  • Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 55-65 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
  • Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door ajar for 1 hour.
  • Remove from oven and let cool completely at room temperature. Then, cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.

Chocolate Ganache Preparation

  • Place chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl.
  • Heat heavy cream in a small saucepan until simmering. Pour hot cream over the chocolate and let it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Whisk until smooth and glossy.
  • Let the ganache cool slightly, then drizzle over the chilled cheesecake.

Serving

  • Garnish with fresh raspberries before serving.

Notes

For best results, ensure cream cheese is at room temperature. Overmixing the filling can lead to cracks in the cheesecake.
