Neapolitan Cheesecake
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- For the Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups of chocolate cookie crumbs
- 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, melted
- For the Filling:
- 24 ounces of cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup of sour cream
- 1/2 cup of heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup of strawberry puree
- 1/4 cup of chocolate syrup
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, mix together 1 1/2 cups of chocolate cookie crumbs, 1/4 cup of sugar, and 1/2 cup of melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool.
- In a large bowl, beat 24 ounces of softened cream cheese and 1 cup of sugar until smooth. Beat in 3 eggs, one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix in 1/2 cup of sour cream, 1/2 cup of heavy cream, and 3 tablespoons of flour until well combined.
- Divide the batter into three equal parts. Stir the strawberry puree into one part and the chocolate syrup into another part. Leave the third part plain.
- Pour the strawberry batter over the cooled crust, then carefully pour the chocolate batter over the strawberry layer. Finally, pour the plain batter over the chocolate layer. Use a knife to gently swirl the layers together.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door ajar for 1 hour.
- Remove the cheesecake from the oven and run a knife around the edges to loosen it from the pan. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving.
