Fabulous Marbled Cheesecake

"This cheesecake is all about the silky smooth texture that is the real standout. Cheesecake can take on any flavor, but this is the classic cheesecake dessert. I have a lot of low-calorie cheesecake recipes, but this is the REAL deal."

The title of this recipe says it all! Awesome cheesecake, restaurant quality (if not better!!). I had to make a few subs - when I went looking for graham cracker crumbs I didn't have enough so I used oreo crumbs instead and subbed crushed slivered almonds for the walnuts. I did keep the measurements the same and it worked perfectly. I covered the finished cheesecake with a chocolate glaze and decorated with more almonds. Beautiful to look at, delicious to eat! Thanks for posting this recipe, it definitely will be made again.
