Recipe



Cheesecake: Combine wafer crumbs, butter, and 1/2 c. sugar; blend well. Press on bottom and 1 1/2" up sides of a 9" springform pan. Set aside.

Position knife blade in food processor bowl; add chocolate cubes, and process until finely ground. With food processor running, pour hot coffee through food chute. Process until chocolate is melted and smooth. Add cream cheese cubes and next 6 ingredients, and process until mixture is smooth, stopping once to scrape down sides of processor bowl. Pour mixture into prepared crust, and bake at 350F for 55 minutes. (Center will still be soft.) Let cheesecake cool to room temperature on a wire rack. Cover and chill at least 8 hours. Carefully remove sides of pan. Place each serving on a pool of Raspberry Sauce. Garnish, if desired, with whipped cream and mint.

Raspberry Sauce: Drain raspberries, reserving juice. Put raspberries through a food mill, and discard seeds. Combine raspberry juice, puree, and cornstarch, stirring until smooth. Cook over medium heat, stirring until smooth and thickened. Let cool. Yield: 3/4 c.
