Cure for a Rainy Fall Evening

There is a chill in the air and a gray, drizzly sky that won't go away. Light some candles, turn on some Norah Jones, pour a glass of Pinot Noir and bake cheesecake for dinner....

Chocolate Coffee Cheesecake
  • 2  cups  crushed chocolate graham crackers (about 18 crackers)
  • 1/3  melted butter
  • Combine and press into a pie crust. Bake at 325 for 10 minutes. 
 Blend together 4  (8-oz.) packages cream cheese, softened and 1  cup  sugar
Add:
  • 1/4  cup  coffee liqueur
  • 1  teaspoon  vanilla extract
  • 1  teaspoon  instant coffee granules
Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time.


Reserve one cup of mixture. Put the rest in cooled crust.

Melt 4  (1-oz.) bittersweet baking chocolate squares. Add reserved cream cheese mixture and stir.
Add in lines across cheesecake and swirl with a knife.
Bake at 350 for 1 hour. Turn oven off and leave in for 30 minutes.
Remove from oven cool for one hour. Chill.

Enjoy! :)
