KAHLUA AND CREAM CHEESECAKE

INSTRUCTIONS :

1. Put Brownie Brittle into a ziplock bag and crush it with a rolling pin (or food process it until it is crumbs). Put in the bottom of a 10 inch spring form pan and mix in the melted butter. Press evenly into the bottom of the pan.
2. Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sour cream and eggs. Beat until smooth.
3. Add the remaining ingredients and beat until smooth. Pour onto prepared crust.
4. Wrap the pan in 2 layers of aluminum foil and set in a baking dish. Pour water into the baking dish until it is half way up the sides of the spring form pan.
5. Bake in a 300°F oven for 2 hours. The top should be golden brown.
6. Let cool.

KAHLUA WHIPPED CREAM

1. Mix gelatin into hot water and set aside to cool to room temperature.
2. It’s very important to have a cold mixing bowl and beaters and cold ingredients for this next part. I put my mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for about an hour before making whipped cream. I also make sure everything else is well chilled before I start.
3. Beat heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Add Kahlua and gelatin and beat until stiff. If it’s still too liquid y, refrigerate for an hour to give the gelatin time to work and then beat again).
4. Top cheesecake with Kahlua whipped cream.
