This raspberry swirl cheesecake is a fantastic dessert recipe for Valentine’s Day.
It’s rich and creamy and completely decadent with its chocolate cookie crust and raspberry sauce. Thanks to my secret ingredient, it also doesn’t require a water bath (Nice!).

Tips for Cooling the Cheesecake
This cheesecake recipe has two cooling periods. One in the oven for 30 minutes, with the oven turned off. DO NOT open the door!
The residual heat will continue to set the cheesecake and bake it through, but very gently.
Then take the cheesecake out of the oven and allow it to cool on your countertop for 15-20 minutes
Then place it in the refrigerator (uncovered) for a minimum of 4 hours, but overnight is even better.
If you cover the cheesecake with foil, condensation can form and drip down into the cheesecake.
I have also found that covering the cheesecake fades the raspberry swirl for some reason! Might be the condensation at work!
