Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 24 chocolate sandwich cookies crushed
  • 5 tbsp butter melted
  • 32 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 10 chocolate sandwich cookies chopped
  • 4 oz semisweet chocolate melted

Method
 

  1. Heat oven to 325F and press the cookie-butter crust into a springform pan.
  2. Beat cream cheese and sugar smooth, then add eggs and vanilla.
  3. Fold in the chopped cookies and pour the batter over the crust.
  4. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the top and drag a knife through it to swirl.
  5. Bake about 65 minutes until the center is just set.
  6. Cool, then chill at least 6 hours so the swirls firm up.

Notes

Don't over-swirl or the marble pattern turns muddy instead of dramatic.
