    • Methods/steps

    Crust:

    Combine wafer crumbs, sugar and butter, mixing well. Press mixture in an even layer over bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.

     

    Cheesecake:

    Heat oven to 325 degrees. Slowly heat chocolate, butter and Kahlua in a small saucepan, stirring until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth. Set aside and cool slightly. Beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Beat in eggs, then beat in sugar, salt and sour cream. Gradually beat in chocolate mixture. Pour into chocolate crumb crust. Bake for 40 minutes, or just until filling is barely set in center. Remove from oven and let stand at room temperature at least 1 hour.

    Before serving spread on a thin layer of sour cream or crème fraiche and drizzle mocha sauce over top of cake. Cut in small slices with a thin sharp knife dipped in cold water. Refrigerate leftovers.

    Mocha sauce:

    Combine ingredients in a saucepan over low heat. Stir constantly until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth. Serve warm or at room temperature.
