9/6 - Steak Fajitas & Chocolate Chip Cheesecake

Happy Labor Day. Up for eats today is a picnic at my mother-in-laws at lunch and steak fajitas for dinner. It is always my job to make dessert for the MIL's picnics. So today was a Chocolate Chip Cheesecake. This is a collaboration of quite a few different recipes.

Chocolate Chip Cheesecake

Crust:
1 1/2 C Graham Cracker Crumbs
1/3 C Sugar
1/3 C Cocoa Powder
1/3 C Butter, melted

Filling:
3 - 8oz packages cream cheese
1 C white sugar
1 tsp vanilla
3 eggs
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (plus a few more for on top)

Preheat oven to 350.

Mix the dry ingredients for the crust. Add butter and pour into a 9" springform pan. Press mixture on bottom and up sides of pan. Set aside.

For the filling - beat the cream cheese until soft. Add sugar and blend well. Then add the vanilla. Next add the 3 eggs. Finally add the chocolate chips.

Pour mixture into springform pan - add a few more chips to the top of the cheesecake. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes.
