Preparation

Medium

Chocolate Cookie Base: In a small bowl, mix the crushed cookies with the melted butter or margarine until well combined. Press the mixture into a previously greased springform pan (approximately 22 centimeters). Chocolate and Irish Cream Filling: In a large bowl with an electric mixer, combine the cream cheese and sugar. Add the eggs one by one, beating well before each addition. Add the Irish cream liqueur and vanilla extract. Mix the instant coffee with the hot water. Add to the cream cheese mixture. Pour the mixture over the cookie base. Bake at 176°C for 15 minutes. Lower the temperature to 93°C and bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes or until the center is no longer 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 another 30 minutes. Let it rest, uncovered, overnight. Place a stencil over the cheesecake. Dust with powdered sugar and carefully remove the stencil. Let it rest until serving time. You can cut between 12 and 18 slices.
