MAKES 16 SERVINGS FOR THE CRUST: 11 whole graham crackers (22 squares) 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted 1/4 cup sifted confectioner's sugar FOR THE FILLING: 5 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, at room temperature 1 1/3 cups granulated sugar 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 3 large eggs 1/2 cup sour cream 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1 cup semisweet chocolate pieces (about 6 ounces), melted and cooled 2 cups fresh or frozen loose-pack raspberries, thawed FOR THE CRUST: Preheat the oven to 325ºF. Use a food processor to crush the crackers into crumbs (or crush by placing the crackers into a resealable bag and crush with a rolling pin). Add the butter and sugar; process to mix. Press the mixture onto the bottom and about 2 inches up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to bake. FOR THE FILLING: In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese on medium-high speed for about 2 minutes. Blend in the sugar. Add the flour and beat until combined. On low speed, beat in the eggs, one at a time, just until blended, scraping the sides of the bowl after each addition. Add the sour cream and vanilla and beat just until blended. Divide the batter in half. Stir the melted chocolate into half of the batter. Pour the chocolate batter into the crust-lined pan. Stir 1 cup of the raspberries into the remaining batter. Spoon the raspberry batter over the chocolate batter. Place the springform pan on a shallow baking pan. Bake for 1 1/4 hours or until the center appears nearly set when the pan is gently shaken. Turn the oven off and place a wooden spoon in the oven door to keep it open. Let the cheesecake sit in the turned off oven for about 1 hour. Remove to a wire rack to cool completely. Loosen the crust from the sides of the pan. Cover; chill at least 4 hours or overnight. Remove the pan sides. Slide the cheesecake onto a serving platter. Serve with the remaining 1 cup of raspberries.

This is one from chef Emeril Lagasse:
5 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon (1/3 cup) melted unsalted butter
8 ounces chocolate wafer or icebox cookies
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 1/2 pounds cream cheese, at room temperature
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, melted
1/2 cup raspberry liqueur, such as Chambord
4 large eggs
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
1 pint fresh raspberries
Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Butter the sides and bottom of a 9-inch pan with 1 teaspoon of the butter.
In a food processor grind the chocolate wafers into fine crumbs. Add the remaining 5 tablespoons melted butter and 2 tablespoons of the granulated sugar and blend thoroughly. Press evenly into the bottom and partway up the sides of the springform pan.
In a bowl beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer at high speed until smooth and creamy, for about 5 minutes. Beat in the melted chocolate and the remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar until thoroughly blended. Beat in the raspberry liqueur and continue beating until the mixture is very smooth, for about 4 minutes.
Set the mixer at low speed and add the eggs one at a time, beating each until incorporated but taking care not to overbeat. Add the heavy cream and beat just until incorporated, for about 30 seconds.
Pour the mixture into the crust in the springform pan and bake until firm, for about 50 minutes. The filling should seem soft in the middle; don’t overbake. Remove from the oven and allow to cool to room temperature.
In a small bowl whisk the sour cream together with the confectioners’ sugar until smooth and creamy. Spread this topping over the cooled cake and then refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Remove from the refrigerator and remove the springform ring.
To serve, top the cake with the raspberries and cut it into wedges.
Yield: one 9-inch cheesecake

I make a regular chocolate cheesecake (I use dark chocolate) and just before baking I "swirl" in some rasberry jam if I am lazy or a rasberry reduction if I have the time.
Hope this helps
