    Source of Recipe


    Internet

    List of Ingredients




    1/2 cup (3 ounces) semi-sweet chocolate chips
    1 (14 ounce) can Sweetened Condensed Milk (NOT evaporated milk), divided use
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1 (6-ounce) packaged chocolate-flavored crumb pie crust
    11 ounces cream cheese, softened*
    1/2 teaspoon mint extract
    several drops green food coloring
    1 egg

    Recipe



    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

    In small saucepan, melt chips with 1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk. Stir in vanilla. Spread on bottom of pie crust.

    With mixer, beat cream cheese in large bowl until fluffy; gradually beat in remaining sweetened condensed milk, mint extract and green food coloring. Add egg; beat on low speed just until combined.

    Place pie crust on baking sheet; place on oven rack. Carefully pour mint mixture over chocolate layer in pie crust.

    Bake 25 minutes or until center is nearly set. Cool.

    Chill at least 3 hours.

    Store leftovers covered in refrigerator.

    *Use 1 (8-ounce) package plus 1 (3-ounce) package cream cheese.

    NOTE: Give this yummy mint-and-chocolate cheesecake a St. Patrick's Day touch by piping melted chocolate into a shamrock shape on each piece.

    Makes one (8-inch) cheesecake
