Turtle Cheesecake

original recipe: http://www.gourmetmomonthego.com/2010/03/turtle-cheesecake.html

Ingredients:

Crust:
  • 1-3/4 cup (1-1/2 pkgs) Chocolate Graham Crackers (crushed)
  • 1/3 cup Margarine (melted)

Filling:
  • 3-8 oz pkgs Cream Cheese
  • 1 can Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 3 Eggs
  • 3 Tbls Lemon Juice
  • 1 Tbl Vanilla
  • 3/4 cup Chocolate Chips

Topping:

Instructions:

• Mix graham cracker crumbs and butter in bowl with fork & press into bottom & 1-1/2 inches up sides of spring form pan. (13 x 9 can be used in a pinch). (We used regular graham crackers because we had a bunch on hand)
• Beat Cream cheese and condensed milk together until creamy.
• Add remaining filling ingredients until well combined.
• Remove 1 cup of filling and set aside. Melt chocolate chips about 1 minute, (just until melted) and mix completely into the 1-cup reserved filling.
• Pour 1/2 of the white filling into crust, then the chocolate filling, then the last 1/2 of the white. Take knife and gently swirl colors.
• Bake at 300 for 1 hour and 15-30 mins-until light golden on top and edges are set and middle moves slightly. Cool completely & Chill. **(I place a pie pan full of water on the lower rack during cooking time for moisture. Also, I turn oven off and leave cake in oven to cool for 1-2 hours before removing from oven)
• Remove outer ring just before topping and serving
• Top outer edge and center with 1/4 cup mini choco. Chips & 1/4 cup Pecans (chopped). Drizzle melted chocolate chips and caramel topping all over top and drip down sides.
