I love chocolate chip cookies. I also love cheesecake. What would you say if I said you could have both? Believe it because it’s true—you absolutely can with this delicious chocolate chip cheesecake recipe.
This recipe is perfect and I make it a lot at my home, for parties, gatherings, or just because. This chocolate chip cheesecake recipe has just enough chocolate to satisfy, but not so much that the creaminess of the cake is overwhelmed.
In addition, the extra chocolate on top of the cake is a nice little something extra. This chocolate chip cheesecake, a large glass of milk and I’m set! You will be too; just give it a try.
