Dark Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake is a rich and indulgent dessert that layers creamy dark chocolate cheesecake with a vibrant raspberry swirl on a chocolate cookie crust—perfect for special occasions and chocolate lovers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Crust:
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs (like Oreos, crushed with filling)
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • For the Filling:
  • 3 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 3 large eggs
  • 8 oz dark chocolate, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the Raspberry Swirl:
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Wrap a 9-inch springform pan in foil and lightly grease it.
  2. Make the crust: Mix chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter. Press into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool.
  3. Make the raspberry swirl: In a small saucepan, cook raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice over medium heat until berries break down. Stir in cornstarch slurry and simmer until thickened, about 2–3 minutes. Strain to remove seeds if desired. Let cool.
  4. Make the filling: Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Mix in sour cream, then add eggs one at a time. Stir in melted dark chocolate and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  5. Pour the filling over the cooled crust. Drop spoonfuls of raspberry sauce over the top and use a knife to swirl gently.
  6. Place the pan in a water bath and bake for 60–70 minutes, until edges are set and center is slightly jiggly. Turn off oven, crack door, and let cheesecake cool for 1 hour inside.
  7. Remove and cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.

Notes

  • Use high-quality dark chocolate for best flavor.
  • The raspberry swirl can be made a day in advance.
  • For clean slices, warm your knife under hot water and wipe between cuts.
