Easy Chocolate Lover's Cheesepie



This recipe is so delicious, Chris has requested it many times for his birthday cake!  And it's super easy.  It is very, very rich, so you can only eat a small piece.  It's much more intense than cheesecake.

It came from a recipe card from Hershey's.

Easy Chocolate Lover's Cheesepie

3 8oz packages of cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups mini semisweet chocolate chips, divided
1 9oz graham cracker crumb crust (the bigger size)
2 Tbsp whipping cream

Heat oven to 450.

Beat cream cheese and sugar in large bowl with mixer until well blended.  Add eggs and vanilla, beat well.  Stir in 1 2/3 cups of the chocolate chips.  Pour into crust.

Bake 10 minutes.  WITHOUT OPENING THE OVEN DOOR reduce heat to 250.  Continue baking for 30 minutes or until just set.  Remove from oven to wire rack.  Cool completely.  Cover, refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.

Place remaing 1/3 cups chocolate chips and whipping cream in microwave safe bow.  Microwave on high 20-30 seconds or until chips are just melted (stir half way through and check frequently -- chocolate retains it shape when melting and can burn very easily!).  Mixture should be smooth when stirred.  Cool slightly.  Spread over cheesepie.  Refrigerate 15 minutes or until topping is set.  Serve cold.
