Black
and White Cheesecake
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker
crumbs
1/4 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
1/2 cup butter, melted
3 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
3 large eggs
2 large egg yolks
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (6-ounce) package or 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate, melted
3 tablespoons whipping cream
- Preheat oven to 325°F
(160°C).
- Combine graham cracker
crumbs, sugar, cocoa powder and butter in a small bowl; combine
thoroughly. Press firmly into a 10-inch springform pan and set
aside.
- In medium bowl, with an
electric mixer at medium speed, beat the cream cheese with sugar
until light and fluffy. Beat in flour and the citrus peels. Slowly
beat in eggs, egg yolks and vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, combine
the melted chocolate with cream. Pour two-thirds of the cheesecake
filling over the crust. Fold the chocolate mixture into the remaining
filling until thoroughly combined. Using a knife, swirl the chocolate
filling into the plain filling to get a marbled effect. Bake
40 minutes.
- Turn off the oven, open
the door and let the cake stand for 20 more minutes inside the
oven. Cool on a rack. Refrigerate overnight.
Makes 12 servings.
