Time 1h55m

Yield Yield: 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup chocolate graham cracker crumbs
3 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Non-stick cooking spray
1 (6-ounce) package semisweet chocolate morsels
2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese (regular or nonfat) softened
1 1/4 cups sour cream (regular or nonfat)
1 egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup granulated sugar
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees. To make the crust, combine graham crackers, melted butter and sugar in a medium bowl. Mix well with a fork to combine. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan that has been coated with non-stick spray. Set aside.
  • To make the filling, melt chocolate in a double boiler or medium bowl over simmering water. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, egg, and vanilla. Mix on low speed until smooth and creamy. Fold in sugar and flour. Pour filling into prepared pan.
  • Drizzle melted chocolate over surface of cheesecake. Using a toothpick swirl the chocolate into the filling, just until decorative swirls form (don't over-swirl, or you'll lose the effect).
  • Bake 1 hour, or until center is set. Turn off oven, prop open the oven door (not all the way, just slightly), and allow the cake to cool 15 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack and cool completely. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
