Chocolate Chip Cheesecake




2 (3-oz) packages of cream cheese, softened
1 (14-oz.) can Eagle® Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk (NOT evaporated milk)
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup mini-chocolate chips
1 teaspoon flour

Preheat oven to 350°. With mixer, beat cheese until fluffy, gradually beat in Eagle Brand until smooth. Add egg, vanilla; mix well.
Toss chips with flour; stir into cheese mixture. Pour into crust.
Bake 35 minutes or until center springs back when lightly touched. Cool and top with glaze and curls. Serve chilled. Refrigerate leftovers.

Chocolate Glaze: Melt 1/2 cup mini-chocolate chips with 1/4 cup whipping cream; cook and stir until thickened and smooth. Immediately spread over pie.

Tip: To prevent chocolate chips from floating down to bottom of pie add chips after baking cheesecake for a short period. Remove cheesecake from oven after 5 - 10 minutes, sprinkle chocolate chips over the pie and then continue to bake for remaining baking time. Be careful when handling cheesecake, pie pan will be very hot.
