Place cream cheese, mascarpone cheese and sugar in large bowl; beat at medium speed until smooth. Beat in vanilla. At low speed, beat in eggs, one at a time, until well-blended. Divide cheese mixture evenly between 2 medium bowls. Add melted bittersweet chocolate to one; stir to combine. Add white chocolate to second bowl; stir to combine. Pour white chocolate mixture into pan. Gently spoon and spread bittersweet chocolate mixture over white chocolate mixture. Place pan in large shallow roasting pan or broiler pan; fill roasting pan with 1″ hot water.

Bake 1 hour or until edges are puffed and top looks dull and is dry to touch. Center should move slightly when side of pan is tapped. Turn off oven. Let cheesecake stand in oven 1 hour. Cool to room temperature; refrigerate overnight.

To make glaze, place bittersweet chocolate and butter in medium saucepan. Heat over medium heat until melted, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; gently stir in corn syrup until mixture is smooth
and slightly warm to the touch (about 80°F.).
