Ingredients

Crust

  • 2 cups chocolate wafer cookie crumbs
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup margarine or butter, melted

Filling

  • 3 (8-oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened
  • 1 (14-oz.) can sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated)
  • 2 oz. unsweetened chocolate, melted, slightly cooled
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 3 eggs

Topping

  • 2 oz. unsweetened chocolate
  • 2 tablespoons margarine or butter
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 1 3/4 cups powdered sugar

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 300°F. In ungreased 13x9-inch pan, combine all crust ingredients; mix well. Press firmly in bottom of pan.
  • 2
    Beat cream cheese until fluffy in large bowl. Add condensed milk, melted chocolate, vanilla and eggs; beat until smooth, scraping down sides of bowl frequently. Pour filling over crust.
  • 3
    Bake at 300°F. for 40 to 50 minutes or until set. Cool 30 minutes.
  • 4
    In small saucepan, melt 2 oz. unsweetened chocolate and 2 tablespoons margarine over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat. Add water and powdered sugar; beat until smooth.
  • 5
    Spread topping over warm cheesecake. Refrigerate 1 1/2 hours or until cold. To serve, let stand 15 minutes. Cut into squares.

  • Purchase chocolate wafers to crush for the recipe. Look for them in slim boxes at the grocery store near cookies, baking ingredients and/or ice cream toppings. Or, use chocolate cookie crumbs found in the baking aisle of the grocery store.
  • Let the cheesecake stand at room temperature for 15 minutes before cutting and serving it; the stand time helps the fudge adhere to the cake.
  • To make buffet service easy, pre-cut the cheesecake squares in the pan.
