Comments:
This dessert is like fine wine. The longer it sits, the better it tastes (in the fridge, of course).

1/4 cup butter, melted
18 Oreo cookies, crushed into crumbs

For the Filling:
3 (8 oz. each) packages of cream cheese, softened
1 can Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk (or any other brand of sweetened condensed milk)
3 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup mini chocolate chips
1 teaspoon all-purpose flour

Topping: (optional)
Chocolate Syrup or Chocolate Fudge Sauce (syrup or sauce may be purchased ready-made at the supermarket, or can be homemade)


Instructions:
Crust:
Combine butter and Oreo crumbs. Press into bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.

Filling:
In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Add sweetened condensed milk and beat until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla; mix well.

In a small bowl toss 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips with the teaspoon of flour. Stir into cheese mixture. Pour over crust. Sprinkle the remainder of the chocolate chips over top.
