Chocolate Malt Cheesecake


Prep: 25 min. Bake: 1 hour + chilling
Yield: 12-14 Servings

CRUST:

1 cup graham cracker crumbs (about 16 squares) NOTE: I like to use chocolate cookies.
1/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup butter, melted

FILLING:
3 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
3/4 cup chocolate malt powder
4 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips, melted and cooled
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Confectioners' sugar and chocolate curls, optional

Directions

Combine the cracker crumbs, sugar and butter. Press onto the bottom of a greased 9-in. springform pan; set aside.

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and milk until smooth. Add malt powder; beat well. Add eggs; beat on low speed just until combined. Stir in the melted chocolate and vanilla just until blended. Pour into crust. Place pan on a baking sheet.

Bake at 325° for 60-65 minutes or until center is almost set. 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. Garnish with confectioners' sugar and chocolate curls if desired. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 12-14 servings.
