Chocolate-Marbled Cheesecake Dessert Recipe

Prep: 25 min. Bake: 40 min. + cooling

Yield: 12-16 Servings

25 40 65

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar, divided
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup baking cocoa
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup hot fudge ice cream topping
1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips, melted
Milk chocolate or striped chocolate kisses, optional

Directions

In a small bowl, cream butter and 1/2 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Combine the flour, cocoa and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Press into a greased 8-in. square baking dish; set aside.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and remaining sugar until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla; beat on low speed just until combined. Remove 1 cup to a small bowl; beat in fudge topping. Spread 1 cup over crust; spread with remaining cream cheese mixture.
Stir melted chips into remaining fudge mixture; drop by teaspoonfuls over cream cheese layer. Cut through batter with a knife to swirl.
Bake at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Garnish with kisses if desired. Store in the refrigerator. Yield: 12-16 servings.
