I had called Nestle and gotten measurements so I didn't need kit. I live in the town the burned to the ground in 2018 so all my collection of old cookbooks and all my recipes burned too. I'd appreciate any help procuring the recipe again.  In the box was a small can of condensed milk, cookie crumbs, and abuelita chocolate. I added cream cheese, butter and I think eggs.  Hi Christy, Perhaps this is it:  Mexican Cheesecake Recipe with Lechera Phaed Hey Phaed: The cheesecake recipe you listed had no chocolate. If I remember correctly the chocolate version added two 90 grams tablets of Nestlé Abuelita Authentic Mexican Hot Chocolate Drink, finely grated.

I saw the request from "Christy" dated 4/11/23 for a recipe similar to the Nestle La Lechera Mexican Style Chocolate Cheesecake Kit.  I found an image of the back of the box that contains directions for the kit.  It might help in terms of the amount of Abuelita chocolate to add, etc.  I am attaching it. I hope this helps!  Cynthia Attachments: Nestle La Lechera Mexican Style Chocolate Cheesecake Kit back of box.jpeg 102 KB Transcribed from photo: Back of box directions - Nestle La Lechera Mexican Style Chocolate Cheesecake kit Ingredients in addition to kit: 4 tablespoons butter 12 ounces cream cheese 2 large eggs 1. Graham Cracker Crust Preheat oven to 325° Melt butter in medium microwave safe bowl. Mix in crust mix until well blended. Press crust mixture firmly onto bottom and up sides of9-inch pie plate. 2. Cheesecake Filling Break chocolate bar along pre-scored lines. Place 8 squares of chocolate and the Sweetened Condensed Milk in medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high(100%) power for 1 minute and stir until smooth. Set aside remaining 2 squares of chocolate for topping.[Cook's Tip: for a more intense Nestle® Abuelita® chocolate flavor, melt all 10 squares of choolate with the sweetened condensed milk for the filling.] Beat with mixer the room temperature cream cheese in large mixer bowl on high speed until completely smooth. Add Nestle® Abuelita® mixture and beat until smooth, scraping side of bowl as needed. Add eggs one at a time, beating on low speed after each addition. Pour into crust. 3. Bake and Chill Bake on center oven rack for 30 to 35 minutes or until almost set. Sides will puff up but center will jiggle when gently shaken. Finely chop remaining 2 squares of chocolate bar and sprinkle around edge of cheesecake after removing from oven. Cool to room temperature, about 1 hour. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
