Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups chocolate cookie crumbs (such as Oreos)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar (for crust)
  • 24 ounces (3 packages) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (for filling)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup melted dark chocolate, cooled
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, pureed
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar (for strawberry swirl)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Mix chocolate cookie crumbs, melted butter, and sugar; press firmly into bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake 10 minutes; cool.
  2. Beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar, then eggs one at a time. Mix in vanilla and sour cream. Fold in cooled melted chocolate until smooth.
  3. Combine strawberry puree, sugar, and lemon juice until smooth for the swirl.
  4. Pour chocolate filling over crust. Spoon strawberry puree on top, then swirl gently with a knife or skewer to create marbled effect.
  5. Bake for 50-60 minutes until edges are set but center jiggles slightly. Turn off oven; leave cheesecake inside with door ajar for 1 hour.
  6. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
  7. Remove from springform pan carefully. Garnish with extra strawberry puree, whipped cream, or fresh strawberries if desired. Slice and serve.
