S'mores Cheesecake...elegant but easy!

I love cheesecake and this is one of my favorite cheesecakes. Not only does it taste decadent and rich, it looks really impressive and will wow your guests.  Actually it's not all that hard to make, you can just let people think you really are an expert baker.

First combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar and butter and press into a greased 10" spring form pan.

In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla. Beat in the 3 eggs.  Stir in 1 cup mini chocolate chips and 1 cup mini marshmallows.

Pour into the graham cracker crust.  Place in a preheated 300 degree oven for 1 hour.  Remove from oven and sprinkle the top with 2 cups mini marshmallows.  Return to oven for 5 minutes.

Melt 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips with 1 Tbs. shortening.  Drizzle chocolate over the marshmallows.  Refrigerate overnight.

When you are ready to serve, remove the spring form pan and place on serving plate.  S'mores cheesecake! Wasn't that easy?
