Choco Strawberry Swirl (Printable Version)
# What You'll Need:
→ Filling
01 -
1 cup fresh strawberries, blended till smooth
02 -
3 large eggs, let them get to room temp
03 -
1 cup granulated sugar
04 -
16 ounces cream cheese, nice and soft

1/2 cup plain cocoa powder
→ Crust
06 -
1/2 cup melted unsalted butter
07 -
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Pop it in the oven for about 50-60 minutes. It should jiggle just a tad in the middle. Let it chill in the turned-off oven for an hour. Take it out and cool completely before you cut into it.
02 -
First, pour half your chocolate mix over the crust. Add half the strawberry stuff on top. Do a second layer with the rest of each. Grab a knife and gently swirl the strawberry through the chocolate to make a nice pattern.
03 -
Toss fresh strawberries into a blender and whiz them up till totally smooth. If you want it super silky, push the mix through a fine mesh sieve.
04 -
Sprinkle cocoa powder into your creamy mixture and gently mix it in. Don’t stir too much—just enough to get it all together.
05 -
Beat the softened cream cheese until it’s fluffy. Slowly mix in your sugar. Drop in the eggs one at a time, blending each until it’s smooth.
06 -
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Mix melted butter with graham crumbs so everything’s coated. Press the mix firmly into the bottom of a springform pan to make a solid base.
# Additional Tips:

Dip your knife in hot water and wipe it off before each cut to keep the slices looking sharp.
