I actually got a request to post the recipe for Fudge Truffle Cheesecake. Not only does this look delicious but it taste delicious as well. It’s creamy texture is good for eating as a regular dessert or as something to offer at a get-together. It’s a crowd pleaser!

Ingredients:

• chocolate crumb crust
• 3 (8 oz.) packages cream cheese, softened
• 1 (14 oz.) can Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk (not evaporated milk)
• 1 (12 oz.) package semi-sweet chocolate chips or 8 (1 oz. squares semi-sweet chocolate, melted 
• 4 eggs
• 1/4 cup coffee-flavored liqueur, optional (I never use it)
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

                  You want to pre-heat the oven to 300 degrees. Prepare chocolate crumb crust. In large mixer bowl, beat cheese until fluffy. Gradually beat in sweetened condensed milk until smooth. Add remaining ingredients; mix well. Pour into prepared pan. Bake 1 hour and 5 minutes or until center is set. Cool. Chill. Garnish as desired. Refrigerate leftovers. (This makes one 9-inch cheesecake)

Chocolate Crumb Crust:

                  In medium bowl, combine 1  1/2  cups vamilla wafer crumbs (about 45 wafers), 6 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar, 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa and 1/3 cup margarine or butter, melted. Press firmly on bottom and 1/2 inch up side of 9-inch springform pan.

              I thought I would use one of my favorite chocolate recipes to start us off. These r absolutely delicious but I wouldn’t eat too many at one sitting..they r sweet!

Ingredients:

• 1 (12-ounce) package (2 cups) semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup butter or margarine
• 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated)
• 2 cups Pillsbury Best All-Purpose or unbleached flour
• 1/2 cup of finely chopped nut, if desired (I usually don’t)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 60 milk chocolate candy kisses, unwrapped
• 2 ounces white baking bar or vanilla flavored candy coating
• 1 teaspoon shortening or oil

                     Heat oven to 350 degrees. In medium saucepan, combine chocolate chips & butter; cook & stir over very low heat until chips r melted & smooth. Add sweetened condensed milk; mix well. Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level off. In medium bowl, combine flour, nuts, chocolate mixture & vanilla; mix well. Shape 1 tablespoonful (use measuring spoon) of dough around each candy kiss, covering completely. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake @ 350 degrees for 6 to 8 minutes. Cookies will be soft & appear shiny but become firm as they cool. DO NOT OVERBAKE. Remove from cookie sheets; cool. In small saucepan, combine white baking bar & shortening; cook & stir over low heat until melted & smooth. Drizzle over cookies. Store in tightly covered container.

Yield: 5 dozen cookies
