Summer Accomplishment ~ 1

For my sister Nikki's summer accomplishment challenge, I decided to make a cheesecake. Nothing big, but I had never tried it before, so I thought it would be fun ~

Here's the recipe for the Chocolate Chip Cheesecake:

Ingredients--

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs

1/3 cup white sugar

1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa pwder

1/3 cup butter, melted

3 {8 ounce} packages cream cheese

1 {14 ounce} can sweetened condensed milk

3 eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 teaspoon all-purpose flour

Directions--

1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, butter and cocoa. Press into bottom of 9 inch springform pan. Set crust aside.

2. Beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sweetened condensed milk; beat well. Add vanilla and eggs, and beat on medium speed until smooth. toss 1/3 of the miniature chocolate chips with the 1 teaspoon flour to coat {this keeps them from sinking to the bottom}. Mix into cheese mixture. Pour into prepared crust. Sprinkle top with remaining chocolate chips.

3. Bake at 300 degrees for 1 hour. Turn off oven {do not open oven door} and leave cake in the oven to cool for another hour. Remove from oven and cool completely. Refrigerate before removing sides of pan. Keep cake refrigerated until time to serve...And your done!!

Anyways, there's my accomplishment. :D
