I enjoy any opportunity to eat chocolate. Add fresh strawberries and whipped cream...yeah, all my free Weight Watchers points' out the window for the coming year. I make this cheesecake the same way as the Classic Plain Cheesecake (see recipe) except I siphon some of the batter and add it to melted chocolate chips. A basic marble cheesecake is fabulous. All the bells and whistles just give it that "oh-I'm-so-glad-that-Moses-came-down-with-those-ten-commandments" just in time to eat cheesecake sense of awe. I shall not eat this entire cheesecake....I shall not eat.....

Ingredients:
Recipe for Classic Plain Cheesecake, including the crust and sour cream topping.
- 1/3 cup chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons whipping cream
- 1 1/2 cups cheesecake batter
Strawberry Topping:
- 4 cups strawberries, washed, hulled and sliced into 3/8" slices
- 1/2 cup cold water
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Steps:
Make the Classic Plain Cheesecake as per the directions. In a glass bowl, melt the chocolate chips with the whipping cream. Stir until smooth and well blended. Add the plain cheesecake batter. Stir until smooth. |
The balance of the cheesecake filling should be in the prepared pan with a crust. Dot the top of the cheesecake with the chocolate mixture. Drag a small paring knife through the batter. |
Drag the knife across and then the opposite direction. This will form the marbled pattern. |
Place the cheesecake into a pan and fill 1/2 way with water. Bake as the plain cheesecake. |
When baked, top with sour cream as classic plain cheesecake. Cool as directed. Make Decorator's Whipped Cream as recipe. |
Wash, hull and slice strawberries into 3/8" thickness. |
Combine water, sugar and cornstarch in a small sauce pan. |
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until thick and clear. Pour over the prepared strawberries. Set aside to cool. |
When the cheesecake and strawberry sauce are cold, pile the berries onto the center of the cheesecake leaving 1" around the cake edge. |
Pipe Decorator's Whipping Cream around the edge of the cake with a large dip. Chill cake until ready to serve. And that is how you make a Kosher Marble Cheesecake with Fresh Strawberry Topping! |
