Marbled Cheesecake Made With Hersheys Sugar Free Chips Recipes

SUGAR FREE CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Pre-heat your oven to 325oF if using a silver 9 inch spring form pan; 300oF if using a dark non-stick 9 inch spring form pan. Mix crushed cookies and butter; press firmly onto bottom of pan. Bake 10 minutes.
• Sift together splenda and unsweetened cocoa. Set aside. Beat cream cheese, vanilla and butter with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add dry ingredients and beat to completely incorporate. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition just until blended. Pour over crust.
• Bake 45 - 55 minutes or until center is almost set. Run Knife or metal spatula around rim of pan to loosen cake; cool before removing rim of pan. Refrigerate 4 hours or overnight. Top with whipped topping and fruit.
• Helpful hints:.
• *Cream cheese can be softened by microwaving on high for 30 - 45 seconds.
• *For ease of serving; lightly butter ring of spring form pan and line the bottom with a circle of wax or parchment paper as well as lining the sides with strips of wax or parchment. Lightly buttering the sides and bottom help the paper to stick and when it's ready to serve when you take the ring off you just have to carefully peal the parchment/wax paper off. The sides of the cake don't get mangled this way.

MARBLE CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Grease a 10-inch spring form pan.
• If needed, use a rolling pin with the cookie crumbs in a sealable plastic bag to crush them. Blend the cookie crumbs with the melted butter, press it into the bottom of the pan, and chill.
• In a mixer with a whisk attachment, place the softened cream cheese and whip it. Add the sugar and continue to mix until blended. Add the flour and salt and blend. Add the yolks and eggs gradually, scraping in between then add the vanilla. Add 3/4 cup of the sour cream and mix in. Take off 2 cups of the mixture and set aside.
• In a small bowl, whisk the remaining 1/4 cup sour cream with the cooled melted chocolate then whisk it into the reserved 2 cups of filling. Pour a layer of the vanilla filling into the bottom of the pan about 1-inch thick. By large spoonfuls, alternate the 2 fillings to fill the spring form pan. Using the flat face of an icing spatula, swirl the 2 batters slightly to marbleize it.
• Bake at 450 degrees F for 15 minutes, then turn the oven down to 250 degrees F and bake for 1 more hour. Then, turn the oven off and let it cool in the oven 1 hour. The cake will still shimmy, but it is done, it will set up as it chills. Refrigerate the cake overnight. Remove from the spring form pan, slice with a hot, dry knife, and serve.
• Notes about the recipe: I had to make 6 cheesecakes a day when I was pastry chef at the Strathallen Hotel in Rochester New York. Just to rotate them halfway through the baking was a major production. I didn't have may own baking oven so had to use the ones on our very busy hot line. It was a trick just to keep the guys (cooks) from changing the temperatures on my ovens because they always last them to 500. And then to get them to move so I could kneel in front of the ovens to juggle the cakes around...forget it. So I'd have to yell out "ROTATE!" and get everyone away from the oven while I kneeled in front of them to do the rotation ballet of hot shimmying cheesecakes with dry towels (a hot commodity in kitchens). My knees on my chef's pans were always dirty and that was why.
