Preparation Steps
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Lightly grease a 9-inch springform pan and line with parchment paper.
- To a medium saucepan, combine raspberries, water, sugar, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until the mixture thickens, about 20-25 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Combine crushed Oreo cookies and melted butter. Press mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan. Wrap the bottom of the pan with foil to prevent leaks.
- Melt chocolate chips with ¼ cup of heavy cream in the microwave until smooth. Let cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and cocoa powder, mix well. Add eggs one at a time, then stir in remaining heavy cream and vanilla. Fold in melted chocolate.
- Pour batter over the crust. Dollop cooled raspberry sauce on top, swirl gently with a skewer to create a marbled effect.
- Place the springform pan into a larger pan, pour hot water into the larger pan about halfway up the sides of the springform. Bake for 100-105 minutes until the edges are set, center slightly jiggly.
- Remove from oven, cool on a wire rack for 1 hour. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
- Garnish with fresh raspberries and chocolate shavings if desired. Serve chilled.
