Marble Chocolate Cheesecake


This marble chocolate cheesecake  is a special bake for my sister's family, they love the green tea cheesecake and mixed berries cheesecake which I baked previously. I'm using the previous recipe. This round I used 2 tsp of cocoa powder and mixed it with 5 tbsp of batter to make the chocolate swirl. Personally think I should reduce the cocoa powder to 1 tsp and mixed it with lesser batter as I don't want the top of the cheesecake to fill up with brown :)

The feedback from my nieces are very good, they said their friends tasted the cheesecake and would like to buy it from me! Today I baked four 4" cheesecake and packed it into small boxes, just to let you know I still can't get a cheap cake box here, the small 4" cake box below is price at AUD$1.65! so looking at the high cost in packaging this really not a good business :)

  1. Tze, I should say there isn't any cheap thing in Australia haha.... That's right, every thing is so expensive. That day I went to buy a pipping nozzle, cost me Aud8.50 which I can easily get it in Msia for below 8 ringgit.

    The cheese cakes look delicious, I'm sure they are, or else u won't repeat the recipe so many times.
