Chocolate marble cheesecake pie is decadent, rich and made with a vanilla wafer crust. It is the perfect dessert to bring to parties with family and friends.
In a food processor, pulse vanilla wafers into fine crumbs. Add melted butter and sugar and pulse until crumbs are evenly moistened. Press evenly onto the bottom and up the sides of an ungreased 9-inch pie dish. Bake at 350° F for 8-10 minutes or until crust just begins to brown. Cool completely.
Chocolate Marble Cheesecake
Preheat oven to 325° F. Place chocolate chips in a microwavable bowl and microwave for 2 minutes at 50% power level. Stir every 30 seconds to ensure even melting. Set aside to cool slightly while you make the cheesecake filling.
In the bowl of a stand mixer (or using a hand mixer), beat cream cheese until very smooth, about 1 minute. Mix in sugar until combined. Add eggs and egg yolk, one at a time, beating until combined after each addition. Add sour cream and vanilla and beat until very creamy, about 1 minute. Pour filling over cooled crust.
Gently drop dollops of melted chocolate on the top of the cheesecake filling and use a toothpick or knife to swirl the chocolate. This will create a marbled look.
Place the pie dish in a large roasting pan and add water into the roasting pan until it reaches half way up the sides of the pie dish. Bake for 45 minutes at 325° F. The cheesecake should still jiggle in the center (it will firm up after chilling), and the edges should be mostly set. After 45 minutes, turn oven off and crack oven door open. Let cool in cracked, oven for 30 minutes. Remove cheesecake from oven and let cool completely on a rack then chill in refrigerator for at least 4 hours, best if overnight.
Garnish
Line a baking sheet with wax paper or parchment paper. Set aside.
Melt chocolate chips in the microwave on 50% power for 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until chocolate chips are melted. Dip vanilla wafers halfway into the melted chocolate and place on prepared baking sheet. Place baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill for 10 minutes.
When ready to serve, garnish the cheesecake pie with whipped cream and place chocolate-dipped Vanilla wafers in the whipped cream as garnish. Serve immediately.
