Chocolate Chip Cheesecake
No one will guess they're eating "light" when they take a bite of this creamy dessert from Connie Staal of Greenbrier, Arkansas. The cookie crumb crust holds a rich cream cheese filling dotted with mini chocolate chips.

Its good, and pretty easy for cheesecake. The instructions are not great, however. Just "combining" the oreo crumbs and butter doesn't do anything. You need to use an electric mixer on medium speed. Then, when baking the crust, it should mention that it will harden as it cools. Most importantly, it needs to bake until COMPLETELY set, not "almost". I followed the instructions, cut a sliver the next morning, and found it to be runny in the middle! I am now trying to salvage it by bringing it to room temp and putting it back in the oven. I plan on baking it until the edges are brown, and use a toothpick to check for doneness. WAY more than 30-35 minutes. I'm wondering if Taste of Home doesn't do a trial run of dessert recipes, as I found another dessert recipe that was just plain wrong.EDIT: I was able to successfully salvage it by re-baking it the next day. Can't give a higher rating as it was almost a failure due to the instructions.
People know me for my cheesecake and this is my go-to recipe. Sometimes I make it "healthy" and sometimes I use regular ingredients. It's great either way, depending on how many calories you want to expend at a time. :)
i know it's a light receipt, but I doubled the chocolate chips to 1 C - 3/4 in the batter and 1/4 on the top.
I do not use the lighter cream cheese, but use all the real stuff and it comes out great. My daughters favorite dessert.
