    THE MAGIC OF MARBLING

    CHAI MARBLE CHEESECAKE

    Makes 1 (9-inch) cake

    This cheesecake has all the familiar cheesecake characteristics you love—thick, creamy filling blanketing a crisp gingersnap crust—but with twice the visual appeal and an extra dose of fall flavor thanks to the aromatic homemade Chai Spice Mix we added to the chocolate batter.

    ⅔ cup (160 grams) heavy whipping cream
    1 tablespoon (6 grams) loose-leaf chai tea
    2 cups (268 grams) finely ground gingersnap cookies
    ¼ cup (57 grams) unsalted butter, melted
    1½ cups (300 grams) plus 2 tablespoons (24 grams) granulated sugar, divided
    ½ teaspoon kosher salt, divided
    3 (8-ounce) packages (680 grams) cream cheese, cubed and softened
    3 tablespoons (24 grams) all-purpose flour
    1½ teaspoons (6 grams) vanilla extract
    3 large eggs (150 grams), room temperature
    ½ cup (120 grams) sour cream, room temperature
    2 teaspoons (4 grams) Chai Spice Mix (recipe follows)
    1 teaspoon (2 grams) Dutch process cocoa powder

    In a small saucepan, heat cream over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until a film starts to form on top and an instant-read thermometer registers 180°F (82°C). Remove from heat, and stir in tea. Let stand for 5 minutes. Stain through a fine-mesh sieve, discarding solids. Pour ½ cup (120 grams) chai cream into a small bowl, and let cool to room temperature. Discard any remaining cream.
