Chocolate Kahlúa Cheesecake

== Ingredients ==
* 1 pkg (8½ oz) chocolate wafers; crushed (Oreos work well, filling and all)
* 6 tbsp unsalted butter; melted
* 2 pk (8 oz) cream cheese; softened (low fat works well)
* ⅔ cup sugar
* 3 eggs
* 12 oz or 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate, melted
* 1 cup whipping cream
* 2 tbsp unsalted butter; melted
* 1 tsp vanilla
* ½ cup kahlúa
== Directions ==
# Heat oven to 325°F.
# In medium bowl, combine wafers and butter, reserving 1 tablespoon of the crumbs for garnish.
# Press remaining crumbs in bottom and 2 inches up sides of an ungreased 10-inch spring-form pan.
# Refrigerate.
# In a large bowl, combine cream cheese and sugar; beat until smooth.
# Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition.
# Add melted chocolate; beat well.
# Add remaining ingredients, and beat until smooth.
# Pour into crust-lined pan.
# Bake at 325°F for 55 to 65 minutes or until edges are set.
# Center of cheesecake will be soft (to minimize cracking, place a shallow pan with about ¾ inch of hot water on the lower oven rack while baking).
# Allow cheesecake to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then carefully remove the sides of the pan.
# Allow the cheesecake to cool completely.
# Garnish with the reserved crumbs (provided you can keep your spouse from eating them), and refrigerate (at least 2 – 3 hours, preferably overnight).
# Keeps well in refrigerator for 3 days, probably longer.
