Chocolate Swirl Cheesecake - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (6 oz.) pkg. chocolate chips
1/2 c. sugar
1 1/4 c. graham cracker crumbs
2 Tbsp. sugar
1/4 c. butter, melted
2 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened
3/4 c. sugar
1/2 c. sour cream
1 tsp. vanilla
4 eggs

Preparation

Preheat oven to 325\u00b0.
Over hot (not boiling) water, combine chocolate chips and 1/2 cup sugar; heat until chips melt and mixture is smooth.
Remove from heat; set aside.
In a small bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, 2 tablespoons sugar and the butter; mix well. Pat firmly into a 9-inch spring-form pan, covering bottom and 1-inch up sides; set aside.
In a large bowl beat cream cheese until light and creamy.
Gradually beat in 3/4 cup sugar.
Mix in sour cream and vanilla.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Divide batter in half.
Pour into crumb-lined pan; cover with plain batter.
With a knife, swirl chocolate batter through plain batter to marbelize. Bake 50 minutes, or until only a 2 to 3-inch circle in center will shake. Cool at room temperature.
Refrigerate until ready to serve.
