Double Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cheesecake

My brother in law came to town a couple weeks ago, and was here for his birthday, so I decided to make a few of his favorites for his special day. I made this double chocolate cheesecake from a PHILADELPHIA cheesecake recipe, and added chocolate chips to it. I also used double stuff oreos, but I don't think it matters what type, once it's in the crust, you can't really tell. Unfortunately, I don't have a picture, but I hope to make this again soon.

Chocolate Chip Cheesecake

Oh my holy goodness! DH asked me to make him this (my very first cheesecake ever) for Father's Day. So, I looked up a recipe and found one that looked good. I made it on Saturday and let it sit in the fridge until taking it out Sunday afternoon. I highly recommend making this if you're in to cheesecake. :)

Ingredients
1 chocolate crust (unless you have a cheesecake pan, then you'll need this: 1 pkg chocolate graham crackers, 1/2 cup melted butter, 2 tablespoons white sugar)

2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips

Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Refrigerate crust while making filling.
2. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and brown sugar until smooth.

3. Beat in the eggs and egg yolk.

4. Stir in the vanilla.

5. Fold in the chocolate chips.

6. Pour filling into pie crust.

7. Bake in preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until filling is set.

8. Refrigerate over night, cut into the next day and enjoy! :)
