Prep Time: 20 min
Total Time: 5 hr 30 min
Makes: 12 servings
18 OREO Chocolate Sandwich Cookies, finely crushed (about 1-1/2 cups)
2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
3 packages (8 ounces each) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 package (8 squares) BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Baking Chocolate, melted, cooled
slightly
3 eggs
PREHEAT oven to 325 degrees F if using a silver 9-inch springform pan (or to 300
degrees F if using a dark nonstick 9-inch springform pan). Mix cookie crumbs and
butter; press firmly onto bottom of pan.
BEAT cream cheese, sugar and vanilla extract in large bowl with electric mixer on medium
speed until well blended. Add melted chocolate; mix well. Add eggs, 1 at a time,
mixing on low speed after each addition just until blended. Pour over crust.
BAKE 55 min. to 1 hour or until center is almost set. Run knife or metal spatula
around rim of pan to loosen cake; cool before removing rim of pan. Refrigerate 4
hours or overnight. Store leftover cheesecake in refrigerator.
Size-Wise:
Sweets can add enjoyment to a balanced diet, but remember to keep tabs on
portions.
How To Prepare Crust:
Use bottom of straight-sided glass to evenly press cookie crumb mixture onto
bottom of springform pan.
Jazz It Up:
Dust entire surface of cooled cheesecake with cocoa powder using a wire mesh
strainer. For a festive Valentine's Day garnish, create a heart-shaped design by
topping dusted cheesecake with a heart-shaped stencil and sprinkling with
powdered sugar. Garnish with fresh strawberries and raspberries just before
serving.
