Directions

Combine the cookie crumbs and butter and mix.  Press the cookie crumb- butter mixture into the bottom of an 8 inch springform pan.  A little oil on your fingers helps to keep the crust from sticking to your fingers.  Preheat oven to 375° degree F.

Next, beat the cream cheese until smooth.  Add the sugar and beat until light and fluffy.  Beat in eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.  Melt the chocolate with the cream in a double boiler, cool.  Add the chocolate mixture to the cream cheese mixture and blend well.  Mix in the sour cream, coffee, cognac and vanilla and blend well--- do not overbeat.

Pour into pan.  Bake in the preheated 375° degree oven for about 45 minutes or until the sides are slightly puffy.  The center will still be soft, but it will set as it cools. 

Cool on rack completely.  Chill and...  Serve your Chocolate Mousse Cheesecake Recipe.
