Equipment
- Springform pan
- Rolling Pin
- Freezer bag
- Mixing bowls
Ingredients
- 20 chocolate graham crackers
- 4 tbsp butter, melted
- 32 oz cream cheese
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 cups heavy cream
- 6 soaked gelatin sheets (or 6 tsp unflavored gelatin powder)
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate, melted
Instructions
- Put the chocolate graham crackers in a freezer bag and use a rolling pin to crush them. Mix the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter, press the mixture into a 9-inch greased springform pan, and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
- Combine the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract. Heat the heavy cream, stir the soaked gelatin sheets in the cream, and finally add it to the cream cheese mixture.
- Divide the batter between 4 bowls as follows: 3 cups, 2½ cups, 2 cups, and 1 cup.
- Melt the chocolate in a hot water bath. Now stir 2 tablespoons of the melted chocolate into the second bowl with 2½ cups of batter, 3 tablespoons of chocolate into the third bowl with 2 cups of batter, and 4 tablespoons of chocolate into the fourth bowl with 1 cup of batter. Don't add any chocolate to the first bowl with 3 cups of batter. You can now tell the difference between batters by their color.
- Pour the first bowl of batter (the one without any chocolate) over the graham cracker crust in the springform pan.
- Pour the contents of the second bowl into the middle of the white batter in the springform pan.
- Now do the same with the third bowl.
- Then pour the darkest batter into the middle of the springform pan.
- Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
