Baileys Irish Cream Chocolate Cheesecake

• 6 ounces chocolate cookie crumbs
• 2 ounces confectioners' sugar
• 5 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 2 ounces butter, melted
• 1 lb cream cheese, softened
• 9 ounces superfine sugar
• 4 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 3 eggs
• 4 1/4 ounces sour cream or 4 1/4 ounces mascarpone cheese
• 4 tablespoons irish cream, such as Baileys

1. Preheat oven to 350u0b0F In a large bowl, mix together the cookie crumbs, confectioner's sugar and 5 tablespoons cocoa. Add melted butter and stir until well mixed.
2. Pat into the bottom of a 9in loose-bottomed or springform cake tin. Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes; set aside. Increase oven temperature to 450u0b0F.
3. In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, superfine sugar, 4 tablespoons cocoa and flour. Beat at medium speed until well blended and smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Blend in the soured cream and Baileys liqueur; mixing on low speed. Pour filling over biscuit base.
4. Bake at 450F for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 200F and continue baking for 60 minutes.
5. With a knife, loosen cake from sides of tin. Allow to cool slightly, then push up base of the tin to remove cheesecake. Chill before serving. If your cake cracks, a helpful tip is to dampen a palette knife and smooth the top, then sprinkle with some cookie crumbs.
