    List of Ingredients






    Cheesecake
    1 C. semisweet chocolate chips
    1/3 C. heavy cream
    1 C. granulated sugar
    24 oz cream cheese, softened
    4 eggs
    2 T. Jack Daniels
    1/4 tsp. Grand Marnier

    Recipe



    Preheat oven to 400ºF. Spray a 9-inch spring form pan.

    In a double boiler melt chocolate chips with cream until smooth and reserve. Whip cream cheese, sugar, and liqueur in an electric mixer until smooth. Add eggs and blend well. Add melted chocolate mixture and whiskey and blend thoroughly. Add cheesecake batter to the spring form pan. Bake at 400ºF for 15 minutes; reduce temperature to 350ºF and bake an additional 15 minutes.

    Fudge Brownie 2 oz. unsweetened chocolate 1 stick butter 2 eggs 1 C. sugar 1 tsp. Grand Marnier or vanilla extract 1/2 C. flour 1/4 C. pecans, chopped (optional) Pinch of salt

    While cheesecake is baking, melt chocolate and butter in a double boiler. Stir until smooth. Beat in eggs, sugar, and liqueur and blend thoroughly. Add flour and pecans and blend well. Remove cheesecake from oven; carefully spoon on brownie (start at edges and working towards the center). Bake at 350ºF for 35-40 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out almost clean. Remove from oven and cool completely. After cooled refrigerate until cake is completely cold.

    Chocolate Ganache 1 1/2 C. milk chocolate chips 1/3 C. heavy whipping cream 2 T. Jack Daniels 1 T. light corn syrup

    While cake is cooling, combine chocolate chips and cream in a double boiler and melt. Remove and let rest for a couple of minutes to allow for slight cooling. When mixture is blended, smooth, and slightly cool, add whiskey and syrup stirring constantly. Let stand at room temperature for a couple of minutes. Remove cake and place on wire rack. Pour ganache over cake and allow to set. After ganache is dry decorate and serve.
