  • 4 eggs room temperature
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 6 oz semisweet chocolate melted

  3. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in sour cream until just combined. Fold in the mini chips.
  4. Pour over the crust and bake 60 to 70 minutes until the center is set but slightly soft.

Toss the chips in a little cocoa so they don't all sink to the bottom.
