I decided to buy myself a springform pan one day in hopes that I could recreate some awesome cheesecakes that I've seen around online. This was my first attempt at a cheesecake.
Chocolate Chip Cheesecake
Ingredients:
1 pkg Oreo cookies (I used Double Stuf - and ate the leftovers)
1/3 c.butter
3 (8oz. ea) pkgs cream cheese
1 (14oz) can sweetened condensed milk
3 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup mini semi sweet chocolate chips (I used the whole bag) :)
Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
The
recipe states to only crush up 1 cup of Oreos. I crushed up all but
about 10 cookies. Mix the butter with the crushed cookies and press into
bottom of a greased 9 inch springform pan. You can press the cookie
mixture up the sides if you'd like as well.
Mix the cream cheese
until smooth and creamy. Slowly add the sweetened condensed milk until
completely blended. Add vanilla and eggs and blend until perfectly
smooth and blended. Finally add 1/2 bag of mini chocolate chips and stir
to mix.
Pour cheese mixture into pan and top with remaining chocolate chips.
Bake
at 300 degrees for 1 hour. When the hour is up, turn off oven (do not
open the oven) and leave cheesecake in the oven for another hour to
cool. Once the second hour is up put the cheesecake in the fridge to
cool completely. Once cooled through, enjoy!
Husband Rating:
He enjoyed it, but it wasn't his favorite cheesecake. I thought it was a little bit dry and not as creamy as I wanted. It was still a good first attempt. The cheesecake still tasted good with all the chocolate in it. Maybe next time I won't cook it as long?? I'm not an expert on cheesecake baking, so this is all going to be trial and error for me.
