Ingredients
  • 3 ounce NUTS, toasted
  • 9 ounce CHOCOLATE WAFER COOKIES,
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 375&# 194;°F (190ðC). Place a roasting pan filled with hot water on the bottom rack of the oven to create a water bath.
  2. 2
    In a food processor, pulse the toasted nuts and chocolate wafer cookies until finely ground. Transfer to a bowl and mix with melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  3. 3
    Press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 10-inch springform pan. Set aside.
  4. 4
    Soften the cream cheese in the microwave for 2 minutes on high, or until smooth and pliable. Beat the cream cheese in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
  5. 5
    Add the sugar to the cream cheese and beat until well combined and smooth.
  6. 6
    Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure they are fully incorporated.
  7. 7
    Stir in the heavy cream, cornstarch, and Chambord liqueur until just combined. Do not overmix.
  8. 8
    Pour the cheesecake batter over the prepared crust. Place the springform pan in the hot water bath and bake for 45 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly.
  9. 9
    Turn off the oven and crack the door open. Let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour to prevent cracking.
  10. 10
    Remove from the oven and water bath. Loosen the edges from the pan with a knife and let cool completely at room temperature for 2 hours.
  11. 11
    Spread the strained raspberry preserves evenly over the top of the cooled cheesecake.
  12. 12
    To make the ganache, combine sugar, butter, and whipping cream in a saucepan. Heat gently until the butter melts. Remove from heat and stir in the semisweet chocolate and Chambord liqueur until smooth.
  13. 13
    Transfer the ganache to a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe decorative swirls of ganache around the edges of the cheesecake.
  14. 14
    Dot the top of the cheesecake with fresh raspberries. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before slicing and serving.
