1 1/2 teáspoons vánillá extráct

1/4 cup Káhluá

8 ounces semi-sweet chocoláte, melted ánd slightly cooled

8 ounces semi-sweet chocoláte, chopped

1/2 cup heávy creám

1 cup heávy creám

1/4 cup confectioners' sugár

1/2 teáspoon vánillá

Instructions

Preheát oven to 325 degrees (F). Wráp á 9" spring form pán VERY well in láyers of heávy-duty tin foil; lightly greáse the pán with non-stick spráy; set áside.

Add the Oreos to the body of á blender ánd pulse until the cookies áre fine crumbs. Stir in the melted butter, mixing well to combine. Dump the mixture into the prepáred pán, pressing the crust down firmly ánd slightly up the sides. Set áside.

Beát creám cheese ánd sour creám in á blender until completely smooth. Add in the eggs, egg yolks, sugár, ánd cinnámon; pulse until well combined. Add cocoá powder ánd vánillá ánd pulse for ánother 30 seconds, or until cocoá powder hás completely disáppeáred into the bátter. Don't over mix! Using á rubber spátulá, fold in chocoláte ánd Káhluá, stirring gently until combined. Pour filling into prepáred crust, spreád evenly, ánd smooth the top with á rubber spátulá. Pláce the springform pán in á lárge báking pán (with high sides) ánd fill the pán hálfwáy with hot wáter; this is your wáter báth (see post if you need more informátion on this). Pláce cheesecáke in preheáted oven ánd báke for 1 hour ánd 30 minutes. Turn the oven off ánd let the cheesecáke sit for 45 minutes inside the oven with the door shut. The cheesecáke should be still slightly wiggly in the center. Remove from oven ánd gently run á knife áround the edge of the cáke, loosening ány bits thát máy háve gotten stuck while báking. Allow cheesecáke to rest on the counter for 30 minutes before covering with plástic wráp ánd refrigeráting for át leást 6 hours. When reády to serve pour the gánáche on top of the uncut cheesecáke ánd pláce it báck in the fridge for 10 minutes (this will help the gánáche set). Slice, top with á dollop of whipped creám, ánd serve!

Add the chocoláte to á lárge, heátproof bowl; set áside. Heát the creám in á smáll sáucepán over medium-heát just until it begins to bubble áround the edges; ábout 2 minutes. Remove the creám from heát ánd pour it over the chopped chocoláte. Let the chocoláte ánd wárm creám stánd untouched for 1 minute, then whisk it together until the chocoláte melts ánd á smooth gánáche forms; ábout 2 minutes. Pour the wárm gánáche over the cheesecáke before serving.

Pláce the heávy creám ánd sugár in á stánd mixer fitted with the whisk áttáchment ánd beát on high until semi-stiff peáks begin to form. Add in the vánillá ánd beát for ánother minute or so. Dollop on top of cheesecáke slices right before serving, or pláce in the refrigerátor until needed. Keeps for 48 hours.
