Ingredients

Scale

For the Chocolate Crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
  • 1/4 cup melted butter

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan or line with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the crust: In a bowl, combine chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter. Press firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to create the crust.
  3. Make the filling: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract, sour cream, flour, and pinch of salt.
  4. Create the chocolate swirl batter: Remove a small portion of the batter and stir in the cocoa powder to create the chocolate swirl batter.
  5. Assemble and bake: Pour the plain batter over the crust. Dollop spoonfuls of chocolate batter on top and gently swirl with a knife to create a marbled effect. Bake for 45–50 minutes, until the center is just set.
  6. Cool and chill: Allow the cheesecake to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours before slicing and serving.
