S-MORE CHEESECAKE

Category: Cheesecake

Crust
2-1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 36 squares)
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted

Filling
2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
1 can sweetened condensed milk
2 tsp. vanilla extract
3 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips (I used regular chocolate chips)
1 cup miniature marshmallows

Topping
1 cup miniature marshmallows
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 T shortening

In a small bowl, combine cracker crumbs and sugar; stir in butter. Press onto the bottom and 1-3/4 in up the sides of a greased 10-in. springform pan; set aside.

In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, milk and vanilla until smooth. Add eggs; beat on low just until combined. Stir in chocolate chips and marshmallows. Pour over crust. Place on a baking sheet.

Bake at 325 for 40-45 minutes or until center is almost set. Sprinkle with marshmallows. Bake 4-6 minutes longer or until marshmallows are puffed.

Meanwhile, melt chocolate chips and shortening in a heavy saucepan or microwave; stir until smooth. Drizzle over marshmallows.

Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Carefully run a knife around edge of pan to loosen; cool 1 hour longer. Refrigerate overnight. Remove sides of pan. Refrigerate leftovers.
