  2. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well. Incorporate hot cocoa mix and vanilla extract until silky.
  3. Pour cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. Use a water bath by placing the pan in a larger dish with hot water. Bake for approximately 60 minutes, until edges are set.
