A beautiful, striped chocolate and vanilla cheesecake made with basic ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen. Any cookies can be substituted for the ladyfingers.

Directions

For the Crumbs

Combine crumbs and butter.

Press into 10-inch round, deep pan.

To Prepare the Filling

Mix all ingredients for the filling until smooth.

Remove four and half cups of batter. Set aside.

For the Cocoa Mixture

Combine all ingredients and then add it to the remaining batter.

To Assemble

With a plastic cup, pour six ounces of each batter, alternating light and dark batter, into middle of baking pan.

Repeat with remaining batter, forming circles, resulting in the striped-zebra effect.

Fill a larger pan (than the cake pan) halfway with water, place the cake pan in it and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for one hour and 15 minutes.

Turn off heat, and leave to cool in the oven.
