Cappuccino Chocolate Cheesecake

I’m sure you will enjoy staying indoors during this wintry weather time of year.  You can bake up some comfort food – like cheesecake!  Here is variation of a chocolate cheesecake I like by adding coffee liqueur.

Cappuccino Chocolate Cheesecake

• 1 1/4 cups chocolate wafers, crushed
• 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
• 8 ounces light cream cheese
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 eggs
• 2 1/2 cups sour cream
• 2 tablespoons coffee liqueur
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 teaspoon cocoa powder for garnish
 

Preheat oven to 350°.  Stir together wafer crumbs and cinnamon.  Pat into bottom of 9-inch spring-form pan.
 
Beat cream cheese until light and fluffy.  Beat in sugar and cocoa powder.  Beat in eggs.  Stir in 2 cups of the sour cream, coffee liqueur, and vanilla.  Turn into prepared pan.  Bake for 30 minutes or until set.
 
Spread remaining sour cream evenly over top.  Return to oven 1 minute to glaze top.  Cool to room temperature, then chill thoroughly, covered.  Remove from spring-form pan.  Just before serving, dust top with cocoa powder.

Enjoy!
