Ingredients

1-1/2 cups finely crushed chocolate wafers (about 18 cookies)*

~ 6 tablespoons butter, melted*

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

3 8-ounce packages cream cheese, softened

~ 1 8-ounce carton dairy sour cream

1 cup sugar

1 8-ounce package semisweet chocolate, melted and cooled

~ 3 eggs

1/2 cup Irish cream liqueur

2 tablespoons whipping cream or milk

2 teaspoons vanilla

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

For crust: In a medium bowl, combine crushed chocolate wafers, melted butter, and cinnamon; toss gently to mix. Press mixture onto the bottom and up the side of a 9- or 10-inch springform pan. Set aside.

2. For filling: In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream,

sugar, and melted chocolate. Beat with an electric mixer on medium to high speed until smooth. Using a wooden spoon, stir in eggs just until combined. Stir in liqueur, whipping cream or milk, and vanilla.

3. Pour filling into the crust-lined pan. Place springform pan in

shallow baking pan. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until center appears nearly set when gently shaken.

4. Cool in springform pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Using a small sharp knife, loosen from side of pan. Cool for 30 minutes more. Remove side of springform pan. Cool for 1 hour. Cover and chill for at least 6 hours or up to 24 hours. Makes 16 servings.

*Note: If using a 10-inch springform pan, use 1-3/4 cups crushed

chocolate wafers (about 21 cookies) and 7 tablespoons butter, melted, for the crust.
