Here’s an easy recipe for Marble Cheesecake:
Ingredients:
For the crust:
1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
¼ cup sugar
For the filling:
16 oz cream cheese, softened
¾ cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 large eggs
½ cup chocolate chips (or fruit puree for a fruit version)
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
Make the Crust:
In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until well combined. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
Prepare the Filling:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the sugar and vanilla, mixing until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing just until incorporated.
Create the Marble Effect:
Pour half of the cheesecake filling over the crust. Melt the chocolate chips (or prepare the fruit puree) and drizzle it over the filling. Use a knife or skewer to swirl the chocolate or fruit into the batter. Then pour the remaining cheesecake filling on top and swirl again.
Bake:
Bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for about an hour.

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
