Number Of Ingredients 15

Crust
20 chocolate graham crackers finely ground
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon instant coffee
4 ounces (1 stick) unsalted butter
Cheesecake
16 oz cream cheese
2 eggs
1/4 cup granulated sugar
8 oz sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups chopped milky way midnight minis
pinch of salt

Steps:

Spray a 9 inch springform pan with cooking spray, then line it with parchment paper. This will prevent the candy from sticking to the pan.
Melt butter over low heat. In a bowl combine butter with crumbs, sugar, and instant coffee until thoroughly mixed. Press crumbs firmly into pan bottom.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
In a mixer, whip cream cheese on the highest speed for 5 minutes, then add sugar an whip for 2 more.
Add the eggs, one at a time, keeping the mixer on the lowest speed in order to prevent too much air from destroying the proper consistency of the batter; mix just until each egg has been incorporated into the batter.
Add condensed milk, heavy cream, vanilla, flour and salt. Blend until smooth. Stir in the chopped milky way.
Pour cheesecake batter into pan and bake for 45 minutes or until set. Turn oven off open the oven door slightly and let it sit there for another hour, then place in fridge overnight.
Just before serving melt some milk chocolate in a microwave safe bowl, in 30 second intervals at 50% power and drizzle it over the cheesecake.
If you are feeling extra naughty, drizzle with a little dark chocolate syrup (I used Hershey's) and top with a Milky Way mini.
