Frozen Chocolate Cheesecake  
  Brent's Favourite!  

Ingredients:
  • 2 1/4 cups crushed chocolate cream-filled sandwich cookies (Oreos) (about 22 cookies or pre-crushed in a box)
  • 1/3 cup butter or margerine, melted
     FILLING:
  • 2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1/3 cup whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups vanilla chips, melted and cooled
  • 1/2 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
Directions:

In a small bowl, combine cookie crumbs and butter. Press onto the bottom and up the sides of a greased 9-in. fluted tart pan with a removeable bottom. Cover; place in freezer, being careful not to push up on the removeable pan bottom. Freeze for at least 1 hour.

In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add cream, vanilla and melted vanilla chips; beat for 3 minutes. Stir in chocolate chips; pour over crust. Cover and freeze for 8 hours or over night. Uncover and refrigerate 3-4 hours before serving. Refrigerate leftovers.

Makes 12 servings.
