Cheesecake is one of my favorite desserts. It always has been. I like all kinds of varieties….strawberry, marble, lemon, you name it. My cousin and I had a bonding slash baking session a while ago and we came up with this wonderful treat. This is one of the easier recipes for a cheesecake that I have found, but definitely not lacking in flavor. I love the oreo crust and chocolate layer. A great any-time dessert!
And this is how to do it:

Ingredients

2 pkg. (8 oz. each) Cream Cheese, softened

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 tsp. vanilla

2 eggs

3 squares Semi-Sweet Chocolate, melted, cooled

1 Oreo Pie Crust (6 oz.)

1/2 cup thawed Cool Whip

4 fresh strawberries, cut in half (optional)

Directions

Heat oven to 350°F.

Beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla with mixer until well blended. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating on low speed after each just until blended.

Remove 1 cup batter; mix with melted chocolate. Pour plain batter in to crust first. Top with chocolate batter.

Bake 40 min. or until center is almost set. Cool completely. Refrigerate 3 hours. Top with Cool Whip and berries (if desired) just before serving.

There you go! Yey!;)
