Fudgy Cheesecake

I love making cheesecake, but it seems to take forever, so I've created a simpler recipe that delivers a nice, rich chocolate cheesecake taste, but doesn't require all that waiting.


Fudgy Cheesecake

Ingredients:
2 (8 oz) pkgs cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup milk chocolate chips, melted
8 oz dark choclate squares, melted
1 chocolate graham cracker crust

Directions:
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • In a mixer, cream the sugar and cream cheese until light and fluffy. 
  • Add egg and vanilla and blend.
  • Spoon about 1/3 of the mixture into the chocolate graham cracker crust and spread evenly on the bottom.
  • Melt the milk choclate chips in the microwave (15-30 second intervals).  Mix in 1/3 of the cream cheese mixture and stir until blended.  Spoon evenly onto your plain cheesecake layer.  If it mixes, no worries!  A little marbling can make it look fun!
  • Finally, melt the dark choclate in the microwave and mix the remaining cream cheese mixture, stirring until blended.  Spoon onto your cheesecake as the top layer.
  • Place the cheesecake onto a flat cookie sheet and cook for 25 minutes, or until the top layer is set.
  • Let cool for about 30 minutes and then place in the refrigerator to chill. 
This is much simpler than a traditional cheesecake and your oven time is cut in half.  It's still very yummy, however, so enjoy!
