Chocolate Cheesecake

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup butter or margarine, melted   I double this
• 1 1/4 cups chocolate  graham cracker crumbs   I double this. It keeps the bottom from getting soggy if your crust is thicker
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
• 1 (14 ounce) can  Sweetened Condensed Milk
• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted If you don't want chocolate you can use raspberry jam
• Just swirl in the jam by hand to get the double swirl look
• 4 large eggs                                          
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract  I make my own vanilla extract. You can to.!!  Its much better than store bought
• make sure all your ingredient's are at room temperature.

3. Do not over bake 
4. The keep your cake from cracking place a pan of water under the rack with the cake in the oven
5. Let it cool to room temp before putting in the fridge

Less than 24 hours later this is all I have left

I share with my neighbors and friends

A little tip about plates

Take a piece of cardboard  wrap with foil and you have an instant plate

That way there is no need to worry about getting your plates back

I added melted chocolate chips to the top

Let cool down for about an hour before putting in the fridge

I also do the water pan under the cheesecake as it bakes

to keep it from cracking
