8 oz Cream Cheese, Softened 4 oz SemiSweet Chocolate 1/2 c Sugar Strawberries 1 ts Vanilla COOKIE CRUST: 2 Egg Yolks 1 1/2 c Chocolate Cookie Crumb 1 ts Unflavored Gelatin 2 tb Sugar 1/4 c Water 6 tb Butter, Melted 1 c Whipping Cream
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare the crust: Combine the
chocolate cookie crumbs, sugar and melted butter. Press the mixture
onto the bottom and sides of the pie pan (9″). Bake for 8 minutes.
Allow crust to cool completely. Prepare the filling: Beat the cream
cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth. Beat in the egg yolks, one at
a time, until well blended. Combine the gelatin and water in a small
saucepan over low heat until the gelatin is dissolved. Cool slightly.
Beat the gelatin mixture into the batter. Melt the chocolate. Combine
half the batter with the melted chocolate. Whip the cream until it
forms soft peaks. Fold half the whipped cream into the chocolate
batter. Fold the remainder into the vanilla batter. Use a large spoon
to place alternate spoonfuls of chocolate and vanilla batter into the
crust until all has been used. Use a small spatula to swirl the
batter to form a marble pattern. Chill for at least 3 hours. Garnish
with strawberries.
