Cheesecake:
Preheat oven to 325ºF. Slowly heat chocolate, butter and Kahlúa® in
a small saucepan, stirring until chocolate melts and mixture is
smooth. Set aside and cool slightly. Add softened cream cheese,
continuing to beat until smooth. Beat in eggs, then beat in sugar,
salt and sour cream. Gradually beat in chocolate mixture. Pour into
chocolate crumb crust. Bake for 40 minutes, or just until filling is
barely set in center.
Remove from oven and let stand at room temperature at least 1 hour.
Before serving, if desired, spread on a thin layer of sour cream or
crème fraîche and drizzle mocha sauce over top of cake. Cut in small
slices with a thin sharp knife dipped in cold water. Refrigerate
leftovers.
