Cappuccino Cheesecake Pie Recipe

Cappuccino Cheesecake Pie

2 packages (8 oz. each) Philadelphia Cream Cheese, softened

½ cup sugar

1 envelope mocha cappuccino mix (1/4 cup)

2 eggs, lightly beaten

¼ cup milk

1 extra-serving-size graham cracker crust (9 oz.)

Garnish:    ¼ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

½ tsp. shortening

In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar and cappuccino mix until smooth.  Add eggs and milk; beat just until combined.  Pour into crust.

Bake at 325 F. for 40-45 minutes or until the center is almost set.  Cool on a wire rack for 1 hour.  Refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight.

In a microwave, melt chocolate chips and shortening; stir until smooth.  Spread into a 4 inch square on a sheet of waxed paper.  Let stand at room temperature until set, about 1 hour.

Using a small heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut out eight (8) chocolate hearts.  Top each serving with a heart.  Refrigerate leftovers.       8 servings
