In a large bowl, beat 32 oz (4 blocks) full-fat cream cheese, softened, until smooth. Gradually add 1 cup powdered erythritol/monk fruit blend, mixing until creamy.

Pour about two-thirds of the plain cheesecake batter over the pre-baked crust. Dollop half of the chocolate mixture over the batter. Using a knife or skewer, gently swirl the chocolate into the batter. Pour the remaining plain batter on top, then dollop the rest of the chocolate mixture and swirl again for a distinct marble pattern.

Wrap the springform pan tightly with foil. Place it in a larger roasting pan. Pour hot water into the roasting pan, reaching halfway up the sides of the springform. Bake at 325°F for 60-65 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly. This ensures a perfectly cooked Keto Marble Cheesecake Swirl: Decadent Low-Carb Dessert.

Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door ajar for 1 hour. Remove from the water bath, cool completely on a wire rack. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, for the best texture and flavor of your Keto Marble Cheesecake Swirl: Decadent Low-Carb Dessert.
