Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 24 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup ube halaya (purple yam jam)
  • 1/4 cup sour cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  3. Bake the crust for 10 minutes. Let it cool while you prepare the filling.
  4. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and 3/4 cup sugar until smooth.
  5. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and sour cream.
  6. Divide the cream cheese mixture in half. Stir the ube halaya into one half of the mixture until well combined and uniformly purple.
  7. Pour the plain cream cheese mixture into the prepared crust.
  8. Dollop spoonfuls of the ube cream cheese mixture over the plain mixture.
  9. Using a knife or skewer, gently swirl the ube mixture into the plain mixture to create a marbled effect.
  10. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
  11. Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour.
  12. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
  13. Chill the cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.

Notes

  • For a smoother swirl, ensure your cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature.
  • If you don’t have ube halaya, you can use ube extract and purple food coloring, but the texture and flavor may differ.
  • Chill the cheesecake thoroughly for the best texture and flavor.
