VERY VERY GOOD! Not hard to make either. Very rich! I got on a "cheesecake making" kick for awhile and made several different recipes. This was by far the BEST! I don't know if it was the condensed milk or what, but I loved the consistency. Thanks for the recipe!!

I added three tablespoons of sour cream to the cream cheese mixture. Next time, I will sprinkle more chips in the batter.

This is a delicious cheesecake. My husband actually called me to say "thank you" for sending it with his lunch! I was a little curious about the 300 deg cooking temp, so I cooked it at 325 deg and it turned out just right. I also melted the chips and stirred them in. Loved it!

My friend told me this was the best cheesecake she ever had, and to be honest, I'd have to put it right up there with any restaurant cheesecake I've ever had! It was awesome and really easy! The only thing I changed is that I mixed more (about half) of the chocolate chips with the flour and mixed them in with the batter, then put the rest on top. It was nicely sprinkled with chips throughout -they didn't even sink! Also, I didn't have regular graham crackers, so I used chocolate ones and it was great, even with the extra cocoa powder and sugar. I will make this all the time!

Delicious cheesecake and so easy to make! I tweaked crust recipe a little: use 1 cup graham cracker crumbs, 1 cup toasted pecans, 1/3 melted butter, 2 tablespoons white sugar. Good with chocolate chips but good plain too, topped with strawberry supreme topping (see this cite for recipe). Will be making again!

Out of 5 possible Stars this recipe should get 100! Fantastic! This is the first cheesecake I've ever made. I made the cheesecake, put it in the oven for the hour, then shut the oven off. Since it was midnight, I asked my daughter to take it out of the oven after an hour... So of course I got up the next morning and found it still in the oven! Guess what! IT WAS STILL FANTASTIC!! (not a bad first cheesecake for a single dad)

This was the first cheesecake I've ever made, and it turned out great. I find that if you melt all of the chocolate chips and beat them into the batter, the cake turns out much creamier, smoother, and with a more even, pleasing, delicious taste, and it looks better as well. With the chocolate chips, they turn into hard crunchy chocolate pieces once the cake is cool, but if you melt and mix them the cake is completely creamy and has a better flavor. It did have a few cracks in it, but those might be eliminated by placing the springform pan in a roasting pan of boiling water while it bakes.

This was fabulous. I greased the spring foam pan and had no trouble removing the cheesecake. The crust only came up a little on the sides, but it was still great. The top didn't crack at all - I used my Kitchen-Aid mixer on the lowest setting. Thank you, Jessica.

This was my first cheesecake, The husband and kids loved it ! It did sink in the middle, maybe I cooked it to long ? My personal preference would have been for it to be more creamy and more chocolate chips. ;) Thanks for the recipe ! Sonya
