Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC).
  2. In a small bowl, combine the crushed chocolate wafers and cinnamon; mix well.
  3. Press the wafer mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, beat the light cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
  5. Gradually add the sugar and unsweetened cocoa powder, beating until fully incorporated and smooth.
  6. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  7. Stir in 2 cups of sour cream, the coffee liqueur, and vanilla extract until just combined.
  8. Pour the filling over the prepared crust in the springform pan, smoothing the top.
  9. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
  10. Spread the remaining 1/2 cup of sour cream evenly over the top of the cheesecake.
  11. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 1 minute to set the topping.
  12. Allow the cheesecake to cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  13. Run a knife around the edge to loosen, then release the springform pan sides.
  14. Just before serving, dust the top lightly with cocoa powder.
