Carine’s Chocolate Cheesecake

Sure to be a favorite if you are a chocolate lover (like me!). Make it the day before serving so it can chill overnight, so that the great milk chocolate flavour develops.

Crust:
1/3 cup butter, melted
1 1/4 cups chocolate wafer crumbs
Filling:
3 packages (8 oz. each) cream cheese, softened
1 can sweetened condensed milk (Eagle Brand, 300ml)
8 squares semi-sweet chocolate, melted
4 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla

Combine butter and chocolate wafer crumbs. Press into the bottom of a 9″ springform pan.Filling: In a large mixer bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Add sweetened condensed milk and beat until smooth. Add chocolate, eggs and vanilla and mix well. Pour over crust. Bake for 1 hour and 5 minutes at 300 degrees F. Cool to room temperature and then chill until serving.
