Ingredients
  • 1 1/4 cup Chocolate wafers; crushed
  • 1/8 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1 package Light cream cheese (8 oz)
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 1 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon Cocoa powder for garnish
  • 2 1/2 cup Sour cream
  • 2 Eggs
  • 2 tablespoon Coffee liqueur
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 350ðF (175ðC).
  2. 2
    In a small bowl, stir together the crushed chocolate wafers and cinnamon.
  3. 3
    Press the wafer mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan to create an even crust.
  4. 4
    In a large mixing bowl, beat the light cream cheese until it is light and fluffy.
  5. 5
    Add the sugar and unsweetened cocoa powder to the cream cheese and beat until well combined.
  6. 6
    Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
  7. 7
    Stir in 2 cups of the sour cream, the coffee liqueur, and the vanilla extract until smooth.
  8. 8
    Pour the batter over the crust and spread the remaining 1/2 cup of sour cream evenly over the top.
  9. 9
    Bake for about 1 hour, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
  10. 10
    Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour to prevent cracking.
  11. 11
    Remove from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until completely chilled.
  12. 12
    Just before serving, run a knife around the edge to loosen, remove the springform ring, and dust the top with cocoa powder.
