Ingredients
cookie crumbs
150 g (Crushed into fine crumbs.)
melted butter
100 g (Melted and slightly cooled.)
soft white cheese
1 kg (Room temperature (can substitute with cream cheese).)
sugar
3/4 cup (Granulated.)
eggs
6 (Medium-sized, room temperature.)
white chocolate chips
300 g (For melting.)
cream
2/3 cup (Unwhipped, divided.)
cornflour
1 tablespoon (For thickening.)
dark chocolate chips
300 g (For melting.)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
2
In a medium bowl, combine the cookie crumbs and melted butter, mixing thoroughly until the crumbs are evenly coated.
3
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 26 cm (10 inches) springform pan to form an even base. Bake in the preheated oven for 7 minutes until set. Remove from the oven and let it cool while you prepare the filling.
4
In a large mixing bowl, beat the soft white cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition to ensure a uniform texture.
5
Divide the filling evenly into two separate jugs or measuring cups (each holding at least 4 cups).
6
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips with 1/3 cup of cream, stirring until fully melted and smooth. Then, add cornflour and stir to combine. Pour this mixture into one of the cheese filling jugs and blend well.
7
Repeat the melting process with the dark chocolate chips and the remaining 1/3 cup of cream, stirring until smooth. Add this mixture to the second jug of cheese filling, stirring until well combined.
8
Now for the fun part! Carefully pour a generous portion of the white chocolate filling into the center of the cooled crust.
9
Next, carefully pour a portion of the dark chocolate filling into the center of the white filling, allowing it to settle in without disturbing the previous layer.
10
Continue this process, alternating between pouring the white and dark chocolate fillings into the center, creating a beautiful spiral of concentric circles.
11
Once you’ve created your desired marbled effect, gently transfer the cheesecake to the oven.
12
Bake at 200°C (400°F) for 10 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 120°C (250°F) and bake for an additional 60 minutes.
13
After baking, turn off the oven and allow the cheesecake to cool in the oven for 2 hours. This gentle cooling helps prevent cracks.
14
Carefully cover the cheesecake and refrigerate for a minimum of 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to set.
15
When ready to serve, slice into beautiful pieces to reveal the stunning white and dark chocolate swirls, reminiscent of a zebra's stripes.
