Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
COOKIE CRUST:
1 1/2 Cups Chocolate Cookie Crumbs
2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar
6 tablespoons Butter -- Melted
Filling:
8 ounces Cream Cheese -- Softened
1/2 Cup Granulated Sugar
1 teaspoon Vanilla
2 Egg Yolks
1 teaspoon Unflavored Gelatin
1/4 cup Water
4 ounces SemiSweet Chocolate
1 cup Whipping Cream
Strawberries -- for garnish

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare the crust: Combine the chocolate
cookie crumbs, sugar and melted butter. Press the mixture onto the bottom and
sides of the pie pan (9"). Bake for 8 minutes. Allow crust to cool
completely. Prepare the filling: Beat the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until
smooth. Beat in the egg yolks, one at a time, until well blended. Combine the
gelatin and water in a small saucepan over low heat until the gelatin is
dissolved. Cool slightly. Beat the gelatin mixture into the batter. Melt the
chocolate. Combine half the batter with the melted chocolate. Whip the cream
until it forms soft peaks. Fold half the whipped cream into the chocolate
batter. Fold the remainder into the vanilla batter. Use a large spoon to place
alternate spoonfuls of chocolate and vanilla batter into the crust until all
has been used. Use a small spatula to swirl the batter to form a marble
pattern. Chill for at least 3 hours. Garnish with strawberries.
