Equipment

  • Electric Mixer - Crucial for efficiently mixing ingredients such as cream cheese in a Chocolate Marble Cheesecake recipe, often with various attachments.

  • Cheesecake Pan - Suitable round cake pan or springform pan necessary for baking and easy removal of the dessert without damaging delicate layers.

  • Food Processor (optional) - Simplifies mixing dry ingredients or blending chocolate and cream for marbling effect, not mandatory but beneficial.

  • Silicone Spatula - Essential for cleanly scraping bowls during preparation to avoid wasting batter.

  • Digital Scale (optional) - Useful for precise measurements of sugar and chocolate in the recipe, enhancing consistency and taste.

  • Double Boiler or Microwave-Safe Bowl - For melting chocolate gently without burning it to achieve a marbled effect.

  • Parchment Paper Sheets (optional) - Can be used as a base liner inside the pan for easy cleanup and potentially preventing sticking of cheesecake.

  • Cooling Rack - Allows air circulation underneath after baking to cool down evenly and avoid condensation on the surface.

  • Offset Spatula (optional) - Useful for spreading filling in or serving slices of marble cheesecake with a clean finish.

  • Measuring Cups and Spoons - Essential tools for accurately measuring ingredients, crucial in baking for achieving the desired outcome.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon slivered blanched almonds

  • Vegetable oil cooking spray

  • 6 chocolate wafers

  • 15 ounces (1 3/4 cups) part-skim ricotta

  • 8 ounces lowfat cream cheese, room temperature

  • 1 cup sugar

  • 1/2 cup lowfat sour cream

  • 1 large whole egg

  • 2 egg whites

  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract (or to taste)

  • 2 tablespoon all-purpose flour

Instructions

1

Instruction 1

Heat oven to 350°. Toast almonds on a small baking sheet for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from oven; reduce heat to 325°. Coat an 8-inch springform pan with cooking spray. Wrap outside of pan in foil to prevent seepage. Process chocolate wafers and almonds in a food processor until fine crumbs. Sprinkle 2 to 3 tablespoon crumbs onto bottom of pan (just enough to coat bottom lightly). Shake pan to distribute evenly. Reserve remaining crumbs.

Instruction 2

Purée ricotta in a food processor until smooth, about 1 minute. Add cream cheese, sugar, sour cream, egg, egg whites, almond extract, flour and salt; puree until smooth. Whisk amaretto, if desired (or same amount of hot water), 2 tablespoon hot water, cocoa powder and espresso powder in a bowl until well combined. Stir in chocolate chips. Stir 1 cup plain filling into chocolate mixture. Set aside. Pour remaining plain filling into prepared pan. Drizzle chocolate filling in a circular pattern over plain filling. Using a knife, make circular strokes to create swirls in the plain filling. Add 1 inch hot water to a shallow baking pan; place springform pan in baking pan. Bake until cheesecake is firm around the edge and slightly soft in the center, 45 to 55 minutes. Run a knife around inside of pan. Remove foil; let cool on a rack. Chill 6 hours or overnight before removing sides of pan. Press reserved crumbs onto side of cheesecake.
