How To Make a Chocolate Kahlua Oreo Cheesecake

1.Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.

2.Place a pan of hot water in the bottom of the oven and close the door.

3.Take a 9 inch springform pan apart, line the bottom plate with aluminum foil, then reassemble the pan. Pull the excess foil up and around the pan to prevent any batter from leaking into the oven. Spray sides and bottom with vegetable spray.

4.Mix Oreo Cookie Crust ingredients and pat on the bottom only of the prepared pan.

5.Dissolve the instant coffee in the Kahlua or coffee liqueur. Set aside.

6.In the bowl of a stand mixer, or in a large mixing bowl with a hand held mixer, beat cream cheese on medium speed until smooth – about 2-3 minutes. Scrape down sides half way through. Add sweetened condensed milk and beat again, scraping a few times. The mixture should be smooth. Add eggs 1 at a time beating after each addition until creamy. Add vanilla, Kahlua and disolved coffee crystals, and blend well. Turn the mixer to low speed, add melted chocolate in a steady stream, and beat only until there are no more cream cheese lumps and the filling is nice and fluffy. Scrape once more. Gently fold in all but 1/2 cup of broken Oreos.

7.Pour Kahlua Cheesecake batter into prepared pan on top of the Oreo cookie crust, and sprinkle remaining broken Oreos on top of the batter.

8.Bake the cheesecake at 300 degrees for 60-70 minutes. The center of the cheesecake will be a little jiggly. This will set up as the cheesecake cools. Remove from oven and let cool before removing the sides of the pan.

9.See the important link above (How To Make a Perfect Cheesecake) for further baking, cooling, serving and freezing instructions.

10.Remove from pan when fully chilled, and drizzle with the optional dark chocolate ganache icing.

11.Makes one 9 inch Kahlua Oreo Cheesecake. Serves 14. Wrap with plastic wrap, and refrigerate leftovers
