Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325 degree F.

In a medium bowl, combine crushed chocolate sandwich cookies and melted butter; mix well and press into bottom and sides of a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate to form a crust.

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, eggs, and sugar until smooth. Reserve 1/3 cup of the mixture and set aside in a small bowl. Pour remaining mixture into prepared crust.

Add melted chocolate and the raspberry preserves to reserved cream cheese mixture; mix well and drop by spoonfuls into mixture in crust. Swirl with a knife to create a marbled effect. Bake 50 to 55 minutes, or until almost set in the center. Allow to cool 1 hour then cover and chill at least 6 hours before serving.

Note

It's nice to add a bit of color to this by garnishing each serving with a dollop of whipped cream, some fresh raspberries, and a sprig of mint.
