Easy Chocolate Cheesecake Recipe

Just what I love.  It's easy.  It's chocolate.  It's cheesecake.

Ingredients:

1 and 1/2 cups Nestle's semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup sugar
11 oz. Philadelphia Brand cream cheese
1/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
2 cups Cool Whip, thawed
1 ready-made Graham Cracker crust
Shaved chocolate for garnish
Additional Cool Whip for garnish

Directions:

• Melt the chocolate chips in a saucepan over low heat or in the microwave (my choice), stirring constantly.  Let cool.  
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sugar, and butter, and beat until of a smooth consistency.  
• Blend in the chocolate slowly and fold in the Cool Whip until blended.  
• Spoon the cheese/chocolate filling mixture into the graham cracker crust and cover.  Chill in the refrigerator until firm.  
• Garnish with Cool Whip and shaved chocolate, if desired.
