- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- ⅓ cup sugar
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ¾ cup miniature chocolate chips
CHOCOLATE GANACHE
- 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate finely chopped, divided
- ¼ cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Cheesecake

- Spread batter evenly into pie crust. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours to set or overnight for best results.
- CHOCOLATE GANACHE
- Place half of the chocolate in a small mixing bowl. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream on medium-high heat until it comes to a boil.
