Frosted Chocolate Chip Cheesecake
“Heavenly” is a good description for this luscious dessert, conveniently made a day ahead. When I don’t have a candy bar on hand, I melt ¾ cup of chocolate chips to use in the frosting. Whipped cream can be used in place of the whipped topping.—Arlene Butler, Ogden, Utah

Several years ago I decided cheesecake was going to be my holiday dish. It was pretty disastrous for a while, and after quite a few bad recipes I was about to give up and try a new signature food. Then I found this recipe! Now, not only am I always asked to bring a cheesecake, my husband always requests this one.
I made this back in 2007 and rated it "excellent!"...my highest rating. I like cheesecakes that have a topping since it covers any cracks that might happen!
It was delicious, and easy too!! I used a store-bought Oreo crust (which tasted great, but was too small to hold the filling), as I could not find plain chocolate wafer crumbs. Does it work just as well to grind up whole Oreo cookies?
I tried this several years ago and have made it COUNTLESS times since. It is ALWAYS a hit and is appropriate for any dinner, either fancy or plain. I LOVE this recipe and have gotten so many recipe requests. I also serve it when I have company :)
My aunt made this last year at Thanksgiving and shared the recipe with me. I make it every time we have a celebration. It's a little tedious, but it's well worth it.
This was my very first Cheesecake that I made ever! Well it was a huge hit! It didn't last long and it was so pretty! I used a store bought Oreo crust instead of what the recipe called for which made it extra yummy! Loved it!!!! :) Will be making this again at Thanksgiving!
I have made this recipe several times, including for our church's Valentine Banquet one year. Great flavor and looks nice, too!
I've been making this cheesecake for years, with & without the frosting. It is amazing every time! Love it, Love it!
Everybody loved this cheesecake. However, the crust it too hard/crispy. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I followed the exact recipe.
I've made several different cheesecakes, and this is one of my very favorites. I love the creaminess of it, and I love the lighter, mousse-like frosting in contrast with the denser cheesecake. This is a cheesecake recipe I've made several times, and people always love it. I highly recommend this recipe.
