Chocolate and vanilla swirls top this quick cheesecake you bake in a prepared crust.
INGREDIENTS (for 8 servings):
- 4 (3 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup HERSHEY®'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
- 1 teaspoon shortening
- 1 (9 inch) graham cracker crust
PREPARATION:
Heat oven to 325 F. In large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla; beat well.
In small bowl, reserve 1/2 cup cream cheese mixture. In heavy saucepan over very low heat, melt chocolate chips with shortening; stir into reserved 1/2 cup cream cheese mixture.
Pour vanilla mixture into crust. Drop spoonfuls of chocolate mixture onto vanilla mixture; swirl with knife or metal spatula for marbled effect. Place filled crust on cookie sheet.
