Ingredients
  

For the Cheesecake Base
  • 16 ounces Cream Cheese softened
  • 1 cup Sugar can use sugar alternative
  • 3 Eggs room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract pure vanilla recommended
  • 1/2 cup Cocoa Powder unsweetened
For the Strawberry Swirl
  • 1 cup Strawberry Puree fresh or frozen
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice can use lime juice as alternative
For the Crust
  • 1 cup Graham Cracker Crust can use chocolate graham crackers

Method
 

Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare the graham cracker crust; mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan.
  3. Beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth. Gradually add the eggs one at a time.
  4. Stir in the vanilla extract and cocoa powder.
  5. Mix the strawberry puree, remaining sugar, and lemon juice in a separate bowl.
  6. Pour half of the chocolate mixture into the crust, then add dollops of the strawberry mixture. Use a toothpick to swirl the mixtures together.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, until the edges are set and the center jiggles slightly.
  8. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door ajar for 1 hour.
  9. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  10. Remove from the springform pan, garnish if desired, slice into pieces, and serve.
