      Title: Chocolate Orange Cheesecake
 Categories: Cheesecake, Chocolate, Fruit, Filling, Liqueur
      Yield: 8 Servings
 
           Crust:
      1 c  Chocolate wafer cookies;
           - crumbled
    1/4 ts Ground cinnamon
      3 tb Butter; melted
           Filling:
     32 oz Cream cheese; softened
    3/4 c  Sugar
      4    Eggs
    1/2 c  Sour cream
      1 ts Vanilla
      1 c  Semisweet chocolate chips
      2 tb Orange-flavored liqueur
    1/2 ts Orange peel; grated
 
  Heat oven to 325°F. Mix crumbs, cinnamon, and butter. Press onto
  bottom of 9" springform pan. Bake 10 minutes. Increase oven
  temperature to 350°F.
  
  Beat cream cheese and sugar at medium speed with electric mixer
  until well blended. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after
  each addition. Blend in sour cream and vanilla.
  
  Separate batter into 2 equal parts. Blend chocolate into one part.
  Blend liqueur and peel into remaining part. Pour chocolate batter
  over crust. Bake 30 minutes.
  
  Reduce oven temperature to 325°F. Spoon remaining batter over
  chocolate layer. Continue baking another 30 minutes. Turn off oven
  and prop open oven door; remove cheesecake when oven has cooled.
  Loosen cake from rim of pan.
  
  I think cheesecake in general is best when chilled over night, but
  it is not necessary.
  
  I've just recently found Oreo Cookie crumbs in a box. A great
  time saver for the lazy.
