Philadelphia Chocolate Vanilla Swirl Cheesecake

Another recipe I found in my PEOPLE magazine that sound so good:

Prep Time: 15 minutes plus refrigeration

Bake: 40 minutes

  • 20 OREO chocolate Sandwich Cookies, crushed (about 2 cups)
  • 3 Tbsp. butter, melted
  • 4 pkg. (8 oz. each) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 1 cup BREAKSTONE'S or KNUDSEN sour cream
  • 4 eggs
  • 6 squares BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Baking Chocolate, melted, cooled

PREHEAT oven to 325F. Line 13X9 inch baking pan with foil, with ends of foil extending over sides of pan. Mix cookie crumbs & butter; press firmly onto bottom of prepared pan. Bake 10 min.

BEAT cream cheese, sugar & vanilla in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add sour cream; mix well. Add eggs, one at a time, beating on low speed after each addition just until blended. Remove 1 cup of the batter, set aside. Stir melted chocolate into remaining batter in large bowl; pour over crust. Top with spoonfuls of remaining 1 cup plain butter; cut through batters with knife several times for swirling effect.

BAKE 40 min. or until center is almost set. Cool. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight. Use foil handles to lift cheesecake from pan before cutting to serve. Store any leftover cheesecake in refrigerator.

Makes 16 servings, one piece each.

The vanilla swirls look cool, but I'm not a fan of cheesecake.
