I love cheesecake, and oreos. Now that they have new chocolate mint oreos, my cheesecake might just end up with some mint flavoring crust and a touch of peppermint extract. After all, there is nothing better than chocolate, except just maybe, chocolate and mint! This is a great, very rich cheesecake.

    Beat cream cheese, sugar, flour and vanilla with a mixer until well blended. Add chocolate, liqueur and eggs, mix just until blended and pour over crust. Bake at 325 degrees 55-60 min or until center is almost set. Run knife around rim of pan to loosen cake right away, but cool before removing sides. Refrigerate 4 hours or overnight (overnight is better). Garnish with sifted powdered sugar and mixed berries if you want.
