When I have kids, I want to be that mother that always has desserts. Only problem with that is that I do not make that many desserts! So I decided that each week (given I have time) I am going to try to make one dessert. This week it was Chocolate cheesepie. I found out I actually do like cheesecake, so I figured I would give this a try. And, the truth is in the name—it is easy!

Ingredients:
3 8oz packages of cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups (12 ounce package) of semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 extra serving size packaged graham cracker crumb crust (9oz)
2 tablespoons whipping cream

Heat oven to 450 F.
Beat cream cheese and sugar in bowl until blended with mixer. Add eggs (we used egg beaters because we can) and vanilla; beat well. Stir in 1 and 2/3 cups small chocolate chips; pour into crust.
Bake about 10 minutes. W/O ioenuing the door; reduce temp to 250 F and continue baking for about 30 minutes. Remove from oven to wire rack for cooling. Cool completely. Cover and refrigerate until chilled.
Place remaining 1/3 cup chips and whipping cream in pan, heating slowly until chips are melted and mixture smooth. Cool and spread over cheesepie. Refrigerate for about 10 minutes and waalaa.

Seriously, if I can make this and it turn out great, then anyone can!
