Chocolate Chip Cheesecake: Double Whammy Or Yummy?

Since this dessert recipe freezes well, it’s ideal to serve for visitors that will be coming the next day. When I had friends over, I made this for them. I warned them that they will get addicted to what I will serve them. They didn’t believe me. They all served themselves a slice each. It didn’t take long for the entire cheesecake platter to be empty. I didn’t even have to say, I told you so. They knew that without me speaking any word.

See what our friends over at Recipe Girl have to say about this recipe:

“This recipe couldn’t be easier to make.  It has a cookie crust, a simple chocolate chip- dotted cheesecake filling, and it bakes up perfectly.”

This is the best thing about this wonderful chocolate chip cheesecake recipe: it is easy to make and so heavenly too. I didn’t have to stay in the kitchen all day just to make a dessert. This recipe is perfectly convenient to all moms out there, I’m tellin’ ya.

 

Ingredients

CRUST:

  • 1 1/2 cups finely crushed Oreo’s (about 20)
  • 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) Land O Lakes butter, melted

FILLING:

  • 24 ounces (3 boxes) Philadelphia cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 14 ounces Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk
  • 3 large Eggland’s Best eggs
  • 2 teaspoons McCormick vanilla extract
  • 1 cup Toll House mini chocolate chips, divided
  • 1 teaspoon Gold Medal all-purpose flour

 

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.  In a medium bowl, combine the cookie crumbs and the butter.  Pat evenly over the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the cream cheese until fluffy- about 2 minutes.  Add the sweetened condensed milk and beat until smooth.  Mix in the eggs and vanilla.
  3. In a small bowl, toss 1/2 cup of the chocolate chips with the flour.  Stir into the cheese mixture and scrape evenly into the prepared pan- on top of the cookie crust.  Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup chocolate chips on top.
  4. Bake for 1 hour or until the cheesecake has very little jiggle left in the middle.  Cool to room temperature and refrigerate overnight.
  5. To serve, remove the sides of the pan and cut into wedges.  Keep refrigerated.
