~ Irish Cream Chocolate Cheesecake ~
1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
1/3 cup confectioners sugar
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup butter
3--8 oz pkgs cream cheese, softened
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3 T all-purpose flour
3 eggs
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup Irish cream liqueur
Preheat oven to 350F.
In a large bowl, mix together the cookie crumbs, confectioners
sugar and 1/3 cup cocoa. Add melted butter and stir until well
mixed. Pat into the bottom of a 9 inch springform pan. Bake for
10 minutes; set aside. Increase oven temperature to 450F. In a
large bowl, combine cream cheese, white sugar, 1/4 cup cocoa and
flour. Beat at medium speed until well blended and smooth. Add
eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Blend in
the sour cream and Irish cream liqueur; mixing on low speed.
Pour filling over baked crust. Bake at 450F for 10 minutes.
Reduce oven temperature to 250F, and continue baking for 60
minutes. With a knife, loosen cake from rim of pan. Let cool,
then remove the rim of pan. Chill before serving. If your cake
cracks, a helpful tip is to dampen a spatula and smooth the top,
then sprinkle with some chocolate wafer crumbs.
