    Makes: 16 servings
    Prep: 45 mins Bake: 325°F 50 mins Cool: 1 hr 45 mins Chill: At least 6 hrs or up to 24 hours
    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

    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.
    From the Test Kitchen
    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.
