If you love chocolate cheesecakes, I think you will love this rich, delicious dessert.

Crust:

1 and 1/2 cups crushed vanilla wafers

1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa

1/3 cup melted butter

6 tablespoons confectioner’s sugar

Preheat oven to 300 degrees.  Combine the crust ingredients in a small bowl and press onto the bottom and up the sides of a 9 inch spring form pan. Set aside.

Filling:

3 (8 ounce) packages of cream cheese, softened 

1 (14 ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk

1 (12 oz.) package of semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted

4 eggs at room temperature 

1/4 cup  Kahlua, optional

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

With electric mixer  on medium speed, beat the cream cheese until light and smooth. Gradually beat in sweetened condensed milk until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time and blend after each addition. Blend in the remaining ingredients and mix well then pour the mixture over the crust. 

Bake  at 300 degrees for 1 hour and 5 minutes or until center is set. Remove from the oven and loosen the cake from the edges of the pan with a sharp knife but don’t remove the sides. Cool to room temperature then refrigerate for several hours before removing the rim and serving.
