Chocolate Cheesecake

Chocolate Cheesecake...Hunter Sisk wanted this recipe. It's the cake ALL my boys want for their birthdays. Hint, don't put candles on it when it is warm...they will melt, lol.

CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE
2C (12 oz pack semi-sweet chocolate chips) MELTED
I put them in a measuring cup 3nd microwave themon high 1 minute and stir till smooth
3 8oz cream cheese - softened
1 14oz can Eaglebrand milk
4 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla (mexican is best)

In large bowl beat cream cheese till fluffy. Gradually add Eaglebrand milk until smooth. Add melted chips, eggs and vanilla. Mix well. Pour on top of CRUST (recipe to follow). Bake 1 hour and 5 minutes at 300 degrees until center is set. Cool Completely. Be sure to use a 9 inch spring form pan.

CRUST

2 C vanilla wafer crumbs
3/4 C powdered sugar
1/2 C cocoa powder
1/2 - 3/4 C butter (not margarine) melted

I mix all this together with a fork right in the pan until it is ALL blended. When it is ALL "damp" press it firmly on bottom of 9 inch spring form pan with back of spoon or or palm of your hand.

(Now, I put a pan of hot water in the oven too, seems to help the pie not crack. Don't try to get it out of the pan until completely cool. Carefully run knife around the edges as you open the pan.
The pie is sooo good I haven't experimented with it yet...one day i'd like to try adding a tsp of coffee to it or some peanut butter to it just for fun.)
