Instructions

  3. Meanwhile, place jam in small bowl; stir until smooth.
  4. Combine sugar and cream cheese in large mixer bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add sour cream and vanilla; continue beating until well mixed.
  5. Place 1 cup batter in medium bowl; add chocolate. Stir until well mixed. Pour plain batter over crust. Drop spoonfuls of chocolate batter and jam randomly over plain batter. Pull knife through batters and jam to create marbled effect.
  6. Bake for 50 to 55 minutes or until center of cheesecake jiggles slightly when gently shaken. (DO NOT OVERBAKE.) Cheesecake may crack on top and continue to set as it cools. Cool completely. Cover; refrigerate until serving time (up to 1 day). Cut into squares. Garnish with fresh raspberries and mint leaves, if desired.

  2. TIP: For easy cutting, dip sharp knife frequently into hot water; wipe with paper towel.
