List of Ingredients




1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumb
1/4 cup melted butter
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 lb cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup green cr�me de menthe
3 Tablespoons Cr�me de Cacao
2 Tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 eggs, separated
1 cup sour cream
2 oz semisweet chocolate, grated to garnish the top of the cake



Recipe



Crust -
Combine chocolate cookie crumbs with melted butter and cinnamon. Toss and mix well. Press into the bottom and partially up the sides of a 9 inch springform pan. Preheat the oven to 325�F.

Filling -
Put the cream cheese in a mixing bowl and beat until light and soft. Add 3/4 cup of the sugar and mix well. Stir in the cr�me de menthe, cr�me de cacao, flour and salt. Beat until the mixture is blended well. Add the egg yolks and sour cream, and beat until the batter is smooth and
blended. In a different bowl, combine the egg whites and 1/4 cup remaining sugar and beat until the whites stand in soft peaks. Fold the beaten whites into the cream-cheese mixture. Pour the batter into the crust and bake for about 1 hour, or until the cake has puffed and trembles just slightly when shaken. A wooden skewer inserted in the cake
should come out almost clean, with just a trace of batter or moist crumbs on it. Don't overbake; it will settle and firm somewhat as it cools. Don't worry if the cake cracks as it bakes. Remove and cool.
Refrigerate if standing more than 4 hours. Garnish the top with grated chocolate.
