My mother’s marble cheesecake is legendary in our family.
With smooth, creamy white cake and chunky, chocolaty dark cake, it is the
perfect combination for a decadent dessert. We love it warm from the oven or
chilled. It’s such a favorite we’ve regularly had it in place of the
traditional birthday cake.
Crust:
Combine 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies and 3 Tsp. melted butter and
press into the bottom of a 9 inch spring form pan. Bake at 350° (325° convection) for 10
minutes.
Cake:
Mix three (3) 8 oz. pkg. of cream cheese, ¾ cup sugar, 3
Tsp. flour, and 1 tsp. vanilla in mixer. Add 3 eggs, one at a time. Set aside 1
cup of batter. Melt one (1) 1 oz. square of unsweetened chocolate, and mix with
the 1 cup of batter. Add 6 oz. of chocolate chips to chocolate batter. Pour white
batter into crust, and then add lumps of chocolate batter. Bake at 300° (275°) until center firms up,
about one hour. Allow to cool before removing pan sides. Serve warm or chilled
with a tall beverage (trust me, it’s very rich).
