• 16 oz Norman's Kosher Cholov Yisroel Cream Cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 4 large eggs
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 4 oz semisweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease a 9-inch springform pan with butter.
