Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C.) Mix cracker crumbs, melted butter and sugar. Press into the bottom and sides of a 9 inch pie plate. Refrigerate crust while making filling.
• In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs and egg yolk. Stir in vanilla. Fold in the chocolate chips. Pour filling into pie crust.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until filling is set.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Butter a 9inch round cake pan and line the bottom and sides with almonds.
• With an electric mixer at low speed, beat cream cheese until soft and smooth. With machine running, add sugar, cinnamon, lemon zest, and juice, beating well between additions. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. To ensure even mixing, be sure to scrape down the bowl between additions. Fold in the chopped chocolate evenly.
• Pour batter into lined cake pan. Tap it 3 or 4 times on the counter to eliminate air pockets. Place inside a larger pan and pour in boiling water until it rises halfway up the sides of the cake pan. Bake about 45 minutes, until center feels firm when pressed.
• Set aside to cool on a rack, then refrigerate 2 to 3 hours. To unmold, place pan over a low burner about 2 minutes. Invert onto a platter, then invert again (the nuts should be on the bottom). The cake can be kept in the refrigerator up to 2 days. At least two or up to eight hours before serving, top with the melted chocolate: Dip your fingers or a fork into the melted chocolate and drizzle over the center in a freeform pattern. Refrigerate until serving time.

Steps:

• For the crust:.

• Melt 8 ounces of semi-sweet chips in a microwave for 1-2 minutes with 1/4 cup of whipping cream(watch carefully:)).
• Stir to blend.
• Add to cream cheese mixture, beating with a mixer for 2-3 minutes.(I often do this by hand because of fear of overbeating at this stage in the game.).
• Fold in the 12 ounce package of mini chocolate chips.
• Pour mixture into prepared springform pan and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until center is no longer wobbly.
• Remove from oven and let cool.
• For The Topping:.
• Combine semisweet chocolate chips with whipping cream.
• Melt in the microwave for 1-2 minutes(watch carefully).
• Stir and spread on top of cooled cake.

• *Please note again this requires an 11-inch springform pan.
• *If desired you can run a butter knife along the edges of the cheesecake after it has cooled and before it goes into the refrigerator, so that it will release more cleanly and easily from the pan later on.
• *Please note again--this requires 8-24 hours of refrigeration time.

• To prevent chocolate chips from floating down to bottom of pie, remove cheesecake from oven after 5 to 10 minutes, sprinkle chocolate chips over pie; continue to bake for remaining baking time. (Be careful when handling cheesecake, pie pan will be very hot.)
• *To make chocolate shavings, start with a good quality chocolate in block form.
