Chocolate Cheesecake

This is fabulously rich and delicious and is especially decadent topped with whipped cream.

1 9-inch graham cracker crust
2 (8-0z) packages cream cheese
2 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Melt chocolate chips in double boiler or microwave, stirring occasionally until smooth. Set aside.

2. In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk, then beat in the eggs and vanilla. Finally, stir in the melted chocolate. Pour into the prepared crust.

3. Bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven, until the center is set. Allow cheesecake to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate at least 4 hours before serving.
