Vanilla and Chocolate Marble Cheesecake

sugar

Oreo crumbs

butter

cornstarch

eggs

cream cheese

chocolate

vanilla

sour cream

Pulverize the Oreos in a food processor to a fine crumb, then mix with the butter and salt. Press the crumbs halfway up the sides of the pan, then bake to set and cool.

Mix the cream cheese to break it down, then add the sugar and cornstarch and mix again.

Whisk together the eggs, then add them into the cream cheese mixture in four batches to slowly incorporate.

Fold in the sour cream by hand until no streaks remain.

Separate the cheesecake batter into two separate bowls, then add melted chocolate into half of the batter.

Use a rubber spatula to fold the chocolate into the batter until no vanilla streaks remain.

Add the vanilla mixture and chocolate mixture to the crust in scoops, trying to alternate mixtures for best distribution. Gently tap and wiggle the mixture to settle it into the crust.

Use a table knife to swirl the batter together, getting down the whole way to the crust (without piercing through it), then bake and cool completely in the fridge.
