Easy Chocolate Lover's Cheesepie

By Hklbrries

"Since chocolate retains its shape when heated in a microwave oven, you can't judge by appearance when it's melted. Always stir chocolate halfway through the heating time to prevent it from scorching."

Ingredients

• 3 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 3 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 cups (12 ounce package) Hershey's mini-chips semi-sweet chocolate, divided
• 1 extra-serving size packaged graham cracker crust (9 ounces)
• 2 tbsp whipping cream

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 450 F.

Beat cream cheese and sugar in large bowl with mixer until well blended. Add eggs and vanilla; beat well. Stir in 1 2/3 cups small chocolate chips; pour into crust.

Bake 10 minutes. Without opening oven door, reduce temperature to 250 F; continue baking 30 minutes or until just set. Remove from oven to wire rack. Cool completely. Cover; refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.

Place remaining 1/3 cup chips and whipping cream in small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at HIGH (100%) 20 to 30 seconds or just until chips are melted and mixture is smooth when stirred. Cool slightly; spread over top of cheesepie. Refrigerate 15 minutes or until topping is set. Cover; refrigerate leftover cheesepie.
