Chocolate Creme Brulee Cheesecake
8 servings

Crust:
1 cup finely crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (I
was told to use Oreo cookies.)
1 T. magarine or butter, melted

Filling:
3 (8oz) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup granualted sugar
1 t. vanilla
3 eggs
8 square Baker's Semi-Sweet Chocolate, melted,
slightly cooled
1/4 cup hazelnot liqueur (optional)

Topping:
1/2 cup packed soft brown
1 T. water

Heat oven to 325F.

Crust:
Mix crumb and margine/butter; press onto bottom
of 9-inch springform pan. (Take the sides off while
you bake.) Bake 10 min. Let it cool completely.

Fliing:
Add the sides of the springform pan.

Beat cream cheese, sugar, & vanilla at medium
speed with electric mixer until well blended. Add
eggs, one at a time, mixing at low speed after each
addition; just until blended.

Blend in melted chocolate and liqueur; pour over
crust.

Bake 60-65 minutes ot until center is almost set. (It
will look "uncook" in the center rind, but it will set
once it's cooled.)

Once it's cooked, refrigerate 5 hours or overnight.

Topping:
Just beforeserving, heat broiler. Mix brown sugar
and water; spread over ckeesecake. Place on
