                       -----CAKE-----
  8       oz           Bittersweet or semi-sweet
                       Chocolate
  1       lb           Cream cheese
    3/4   c            Sugar
  4                    Eggs
  1       t            Vanilla extract
  1 1/2   c            Sour cream

 Place chocolate in the top of a double boiler and melt over hot water, or
 place in a microwaveable bowl and microwave on medium for 2 to 3 minutes or
 until melted. Let cool. In a mixer, place the cheese and sugar and mix
 until blended.  Add eggs and vanilla and mix until smooth. Blend in
 chocolate and sour cream. Pour into a greased 9-inch springform pan. Bake
 in the middle of a preheated 300F oven for 35 minutes or until the outer
 edge is set and the inner centre is still glossy. Turn off the oven, leave
 the door ajar, and let cool in the oven for 1 hour longer. Chill. When
 completely cooled, and ready to serve, remove pan sides.

 Prepare whipped cream topping;  in a small bowl, whip cream until stiff
 peaks form and beat in sugar, sour cream and liquer. Spoon in a ring around
 top of cheesecake and sprinkle with chocolate curls.
