Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups Graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 3 8- ounce packages cream cheese room temperature
  • 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 teaspoons vegetable shortening

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. To make the crust, preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Wrap the outside of a 10-inch springform pan in a double layer of foil. Spray pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, cocoa powder, and butter in a small bowl and stir to combine.
  3. Press the crust into the pan to form a crust.
  4. Prepare the filling by adding the room temperature cream cheese to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment.
  5. Beat until creamy. Beat in the condensed milk. Add the vanilla and eggs, one at a time, and beat until smooth and creamy.
  6. Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan.
  7. Prepare the chocolate swirl by melting the chocolate chips and shortening in a small, microwaveable bowl for 30 seconds on low speed. Stir until melted.
  8. Drizzle half of the chocolate over the batter and use a wooden skewer to swirl it through the batter.
  9. Gently pour the remaining cheesecake batter over the chocolate swirl. Repeat with the remaining chocolate.
  10. Bake for 1 hour. Turn the oven off and leave the door closed. Let sit for 1 hour. Allowing the cheesecake to cool slowly in the warm oven will help prevent it from cracking.
  11. Remove from the oven to the counter top to cool completely. Refrigerate for 4 hours or more before serving.
