Ingredients

  • CRUST:
  • 1 1/2 cups finely crushed chocolate wafer cookies (about 28 cookies)
  • 5 tablespoons butter, unsalted, melted
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • FILLING:
  • 4 - 8 oz. packages cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1 1/4 cups sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice, fresh
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 4 x large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder, unsweetened
  • 1 tablespoon red food coloring

How To Make red velvet marbled cheesecake

  • Step 1
    CRUST: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Mix the cookie crumbs, melted butter, sugar & salt in a bowl. Press into the bottom & 1" up the sides of a 9" springform pan. Put the pan on a baking sheet & bake until set, about 10 minutes. Let cool completely.
  • Step 2
    FILLING: Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F. Beat the cream cheese, sugar, lemon juice & vanilla in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until smooth, 4 - 5 minutes. Add the flour, then beat in the eggs one at a time. Transfer 2 C batter to a bowl; stir in the cocoa powder & food coloring. With a big spoon alternate plopping white & red batter until all used up. Using a butter knife (do not touch crust with tip of knife), drag knife back & forth (lengthwise) until swirled pattern forms & do it again widthwise (but not totally blended together). Bake until the edges are set but the center is still wobbly, about 1 hour, 20 minutes.
  • Step 3
    Turn off the oven but keep the cake inside to cool, 20 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of the pan (don't remove the springform side), then transfer to a rack to cool. Refrigerate at least 4 hours before slicing.
