Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Using a 9-inch Springform pan, cut a waxed paper circle to fit in the bottom. Grease. Mix crumbs, butter, and extract until the consistency of sand. Press into bottom of pan. Freeze pan for 15-30 minutes while you prepare the rest.

Beat Sugar, Cream Cheese and Mayo until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating well, each time. Melt chocolate chips in microwave for 1-2 minutes. Cool for a few minutes, then scrape into batter. Add vanilla. Spread over crust and bake for 55 minutes.

Mix topping ingredients together and spoon over warm cheesecake . . . almost to the edge. Bake another 5 minutes. Cool on a wire rack and refrigerate for 8 hours. Invert and literally scrape bottom off, or serve with the bottom of the pan intact.
