Secret Ingredient Chocolate Chip Cheesecake

Ingredients
  

Crust

  • 25 Oreos
  • 5 T. melted butter

Cheesecake

  • 24 ounces soft cream cheese
  • 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 ΒΌ cups mini chocolate chips

Instructions
 

Crust

  • Combine crumbs and butter,
  • Press firmly into a 9 inch springform pan. Set aside.

Cheesecake

  • Beat cream cheese until fluffy.
  • Add sweetened condensed milk until combined.
  • Add 1 egg at a time to combine.
  • Add vanilla.
  • Fold in half the chocolate chips.
  • Pour on top of the oreo crust.
  • Sprinkle the rest of the chips on top. (Reserve a few for when the cake comes out of the oven, if desired.)
  • Bake at 300 degrees for 1 hour 15 minutes until barely wobbly. I baked mine in a cheesecake moat. If you do not have one, use a water bath. Do this by wrapping the bottom and sides of pan tightly in foil. Place the pan in a large roasting pan and add some hot water just to go 1 inch up the sides of the cheesecake pan. This helps the cake evenly bake.
  • Turn off oven and let cool 40 minutes in oven.
  • Remove and cool to room temo.
  • Run sharp knife around edges.
  • Chill overnight and then remove sides of pan.
