No-Bake Chocolate Cheesecake Pie

Source:  Nestle

1 premade chocolate crumb crust
2 chocolate baking bars (4 oz each) melted and cooled
2 8 oz packages of cream cheese -- softened
3/4 c brown sugar
1/4 c sugar
2 T milk
1 t vanilla
whipped cream (optional)

Beat cream cheese, brown sugar, granulated sugar and vanilla extract in a bowl for two minutes.  Add melted chocolate and beat for 2 minutes.
Spoon into crust.  Refrigerate for 2 hours.  Top with whipped cream if desired.

Back to desserts. Joyous.  But taking it easy with a super simple recipe.  I have been busy, and haven't been able to try the more elaborate and interesting recipes that I would like to experiment with.

If you have a stand alone mixer (by the way -- my favorite kitchen tool by far) -- there is really nothing to this recipe other than throwing ingredients in a bowl, and let it rip and then spoon into a crust.  Easy and quick.  Quality depends on the quality of the ingredients you are using.

I was disappointed in this.  It tasted like a very dense cheese pie.  It was super filling, and very sweet -- but didn't have any of the fluffiness of a real cheesecakes.  I guess some shortcuts don't work well.  Don't waste your time on this one.
