20131003 The birthday cheesecake

4 recipes combined to make this marbled raspberry chocolate delight.


I started with a comingled recipe for crust using graham crackers, vanilla wafers and chocolate wafers

After the crust was put down and baked,

I added a schmear of chocolate

The batter is a Martha Stewart recipe using 32 oz cream cheese

I made raspberry puree, sieve out the seeds, mix batter in, same with some ganache and batter

Put half the batter in the pan, pipe in chocolate

and marble with toothpick

Add remaining batter

Pipe on raspberry and marble. Bake in water bath half way up pan

and when it comes out, cool very very slowly
