Ingredients

CRUST:
1-1/2 cups vanilla wafer crumbs (about 45 wafers)
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1/3 cup baking cocoa
1/3 cup butter, melted
FILLING:
3 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips, melted and cooled
Whipped cream and additional chocolate chips, optional

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. Combine all crust ingredients and press onto bottom and 2 in. up sides of a 9-in. springform pan; refrigerate until ready to fill.
For filling, in a large bowl, beat cream cheese, milk and vanilla until smooth. Add eggs; beat on low speed just until combined. Stir in melted chips. Pour into crust. Place pan on a baking sheet.
Bake until center is almost set, 60-65 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Carefully run a knife around edge of pan to loosen; cool 1 hour longer. Refrigerate overnight, covering when completely cooled.
Remove rim from pan. If desired, garnish with whipped cream and chocolate chips.
