    Categories: Cakes, Chocolate, Dairy, Booze, Cheese
    Yield: 16 servings

    1 c Chocolate wafer crumbs
    3 tb Sugar
    2 tb Butter; melted

    MMMMM--------------------------FILLING-------------------------------
    1 c Semisweet chocolate chips
    32 oz Cream cheese; softened
    1 1/2 c Sugar
    4 tb A-P flour
    4 lg Eggs; room temp, lightly
    - beaten
    2 ts Vanilla extract
    2 tb Coffee liqueur
    3/4 c Irish cream liqueur

    MMMMM--------------------------GANACHE-------------------------------
    1/2 c Semisweet chocolate chips
    1/4 c Heavy whipping cream

    Set oven @ 325┬║F/165┬║C.

    Wrap a double thickness of heavy-duty foil (about 18"
    square) around a greased 9-in. springform pan. Mix
    cookie crumbs and sugar; stir in butter. Press onto
    bottom of prepared pan.

    To prepare filling, microwave chocolate chips on high
    until melted, about 1 minute. Beat cream cheese and
    sugar until smooth. Add flour; mix well. Add eggs and
    vanilla; beat on low speed just until blended. Measure
    out 2 cups batter, and stir in coffee liqueur; add
    melted chocolate chips and stir until blended. Pour over
    crust. Add Irish cream liqueur to remaining batter;
    spoon over chocolate layer. Place springform pan in a
    larger baking pan; add 1 in. hot water to larger pan.

    Bake until center is just set and top appears dull,
    60-75 minutes. Remove springform pan from water bath.
    Cool cheesecake on a wire rack 10 minutes. Loosen side
    from pan with a knife; remove foil. Cool 1 hour longer.
    Refrigerate overnight, covering when completely cooled.

    For ganache, microwave chocolate chips and whipping
    cream on high until chips melt; cool slightly. Remove
    rim from pan; spread ganache on chilled cheesecake.
