IRISH CHEESECAKE

Category: Cheesecake

Crust
10 TWIX Brand FUN SIZE Bars
1 1/4 cups ground chocolate graham crackers
6 butter
2 sugar

Filling
12 DOVE Brand Dark Chocolate Promises
3 cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup heavy cream
3 eggs
2 espresso powder
2 vanilla extract

Topping
2 DOVE Brand Milk Chocolate Promises
2 whipped topping

For crust: Process candy bars with graham cracker crumbs in food processor until finely ground. Blend in butter and sugar. Press mixture around bottom and sides of a foil-lined bottom spring-form pan. Bake at 350 until fragrant, about 7-10 minutes.

For filling: Beat cream cheese with sugar until smooth, about 3 minutes. Meantime, melt dark chocolate with heavy cream in microwave until smooth, about 30 seconds. Add it into cream cheese mixture. Add eggs, one at time, beating well after each addition. Stir in espresso powder and vanilla extract.

Pour mixture over crust. Bake for approximately 30 minutes, reduce heat to 300 and continue baking until center is almost set, about 20-30 minutes. Remove and cool completely before refrigerating cake for 4 hours.

For topping: Before serving, spoon topping into a re-sealable plastic bag with a 1/2-inch corner snipped. Pipe dollops around edge of cake. Grate milk chocolate over the top.
