Brownie Chocolate Chip Cheesecake

This is rich and calorie-dense and a little time-consuming. In other words, it's incredible! We made this for my sister's birthday party, and it was absolutely divine! We probably should've chilled it longer (we did about 4 hours, and it wasn't quite enough.) Karina said it was even better a day later!

Ingredients

• 1 (19.5 ounce) package Pillsbury® Classic Traditional Fudge Brownies
• 3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
• 1 (14 ounce) can EAGLE BRAND® Sweetened Condensed Milk
• 3 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup mini chocolate chips, divided 
• 1 cup of whipping cream, whipped

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease bottom only of 9-inch springform pan. Prepare brownie mix as package directs for chewy brownies. Spread evenly in prepared pan. Bake 35 minutes or until set.
2. In large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Gradually beat in sweetened condensed milk. Add eggs and vanilla; mix well. Stir in 1/2 cup chocolate chips. Pour into prepared pan.
3. Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees F. Bake 50 minutes or until set. Cool. Chill thoroughly. Top with whipped cream. Remove side of springform pan. Garnish as desired with leftover 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips. Store leftovers covered in refrigerator.
