Recipe
Preheat over not 350�F. Line a 13"x9"(3L) metal baking pan with foil leaving 2" overhang on each end. In a bowl, combine chocolate crumbs, butter and corn syrup until blended; press into prepared pan. Bake for about 10 minutes or until puffed and bubbling. Set aside. Meanwhile in a microwave-safe bowl microwave* chocolate chips for 1-2 minutes on Medium, stirring twice until chips are melted. Set aside. In a separate bowl, whisk together cornstarch and cocoa; gradually whisk in milk until blended. Set aside. In a large bowl using a mixer, beat cream cheese with sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs, one at a time, just until blended. Beat in milk mixture, then melted chocolate until blended. Pour over baked crust. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the edges are puffed and centre has a slight jiggle. Let cool completely in pan on rack. Refrigerate until cold, at least 2 hours or up to days. Remove from pan using foil overhang as handles. Cut into squares using a hot knife.
* Instead of microwave the chips can be melted by placing in a heat proof bowl set over a saucepan of hot not boiling water, and gently heat until the chips are melted.
Mocha Latte Variation: Add 1 tbsp instant coffee granules dissolved in 2 tsp vanilla with milk and cocoa.
Serving Suggestion:Just before serving whip 1 cup (250ml) whipping cream with 1 tbsp icing sugar to soft peaks. Dollop on top of squares and serve sprinkled with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or cinnamon.
