Chocolate Orange Supreme Cheesecake

 Crust:
1 cup chocolate wafer crumbs
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon 
3 tbsp. butter or margarine, 
melted

 Filling:
4 pkgs. (8 oz.) cream cheese, 
softened
3/4 cup sugar
4 eggs
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tsp. Vanilla
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips 
2 tbsp. orange-flavored liqueur
1/2 tsp. grated orange peal

Heat oven to 325 F. 
Mix crumbs, cinnamon, 
and butter.
Press onto bottom of 
9-inch 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. 
Best when chilled over night, 
but it is not necessary. 
I garnish this with 
dollops of fresh 
whipped cream and 
twisted slices of orange.
