Chocolate Cheesecake


For the Crust:
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups chocolate graham cracker crumbs
1/3 cup butter, melted

For the Filling:
3 - (8 ounce) packages reduced-fat or regular cream cheese, softened
1 - (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 - (12-ounce) pkg. semisweet chocolate chips, melted
4 eggs
2 tsp vanilla

Preheat oven to 300 F. To prepare the crust, combine the chocolate crumbs, sugar, and butter in a small bowl. Mix well. Press on the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. To prepare the filling, place the cream cheese in a large bowl. Beat with a mixer at medium-high speed until smooth. Add the condensed milk and beat well. Add the remaining ingredients and beat until smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared crust. Bake for 65 to 75 minutes or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan on a wire rack to room temperature. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
