1/4 cup sugar
6 T (3/4 stick) butter, melted

1 T. vanilla extract
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Coffee Cream:

Recipe
For crust: Preheat oven to 325F. Coat 9" diameter springform pan with nonstick vegetable oil spray.
Combine crumbs and sugar in pan.
Stir in butter. Press mixture into bottom and 1" up sides of pan. Bake until light brown, about 7 minutes.
Maintain oven temperature at 325F.
For filling: Using electric mixer, beat cream cheese until smooth.
Gradually mix in sugar. Beat eggs in one at a time. Blend in Baileys and vanilla.
Sprinkle half of chocolate chips over crust. Spoon in filling.
Sprinkle with remaining chocolate chips. Bake cake until puffed, springy in center and golden brown, about 1 hour. Cool cake completely, be careful not to leave the cheesecake in a drafty area, otherwise it will crack.
For cream: Beat cream, sugar, and coffee powder until peaks form. Spread mixture over cooled cake.
Garnish cake with chocolate curls. Refrigerate for 24 hours or more before serving so that all the flavors can blend together perfectly.
