Preparation

Medium

Chocolate Cookie Crust: In a small bowl, mix the crushed cookies with the melted butter or margarine until well combined. Press the mixture into a greased springform pan (approximately 22 centimeters). Irish Cream Filling: In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, sugar, cocoa powder, and cornstarch. Mix with an electric mixer until blended. Add the eggs and egg yolk, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the Irish cream liqueur and vanilla extract. Mix the instant coffee with the hot water and incorporate it into the cheese mixture. Pour the cheese mixture over the cookie crust. Bake at 176°C for 15 minutes. Lower the temperature to 93°C and bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes or until the center no longer looks wet or shiny. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and run a knife around the edge of the pan. Turn off the oven; return the cheesecake to the oven for an additional 30 minutes. Let it rest uncovered overnight. You can cut up to 12 or 18 slices.
