CHOCOLATE SWIRL CHEESECAKE

Category: Cheesecake

Crust
1-1/4 cups crumbs (graham crackers, chocolate wafers, etc.)
2 tbsp sugar
1/4 cup butter, melted
Cake
6 oz bittersweet chocolate
1/4 cup liquor (I use rum and my mom uses Amaretto)
3/4 cup sugar
½ cup sour cream
1 pound cream cheese
1 tbsp vanilla
4 extra large eggs

Crust: Blend crumbs with other ingredients and press into the bottom of a greased, spring-form pan and refrigerate.

Cake: Melt chocolate and liquor (1 min on high in Microwave); stir until smooth. Put next five ingredients into a blender and blend on the slowest speed. Set aside 10 oz of this mixture. Add chocolate liquor mixture to the cheese in the blender and mix.

Put chocolate/cheese mixture into the pan with the crust. Then put vanilla mixture in, in four even blobs. Use a knife to swirl the two together. Bake 50 minutes at 325° F.
