CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE III

Category: Cheesecake

Crust
1 cup chocolate cookie crumbs
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup ground cinnamon

Filling
1 (12 oz) pkg semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 (8 oz) pkg cream cheese, softened
1 can chocolate sweetened condensed milk
2 cup sugar
4 large eggs
3 tsp cocoa
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups sour cream

Combine crust ingredients and pat firmly in a springform pan in bottom and up 1 1/2 inch up sides. Chill.

Melt chocolate and allow to cool while beating cream cheese until fluffy and smooth. Gradually beat in sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Blend in remaining ingredients and melted chocolate until well blended, scraping down bowl sides occasionally with rubber spatula. Pour over crust.

Bake at 350 for 1 hour and 10 minutes. (The cake will be slightly runny but will become firm as it chills.) Cool at room temperature and then chill at least 5 hours before serving.
