Name: Amaretto Cheesecake #4
Ingredients: 2 c Cookie crumbs (vanilla cookies; graham crackers or chocolate cookies depending on your preferences. *I* like to use nilla wafers or oreos); 2 tb Sugar; 1/4 c Melted butter; 24 oz Softened cream cheese; 1 1/4 c Sugar; 3 Eggs; 1/2 c Liquer (I use amaretto most of the time; but baileys is nice too); 1 c Sour cream (breakstones is best; if you can get it); 1/3 c Sugar; 1/4 c Liquer you used in cake ...or a companion liquer.

How sweet all at once it was for me to be rid of those fruitless joys which I had once feared to lose and was now glad to reject! You drove them from me, You who are the true, the sovereign joy. You drove them from me and took their place, You who are sweeter than all pleasure, though not to flesh and blood, You who outshine all light yet are hidden deeper than any secret in our hearts, You who surpass all honor though not in the eyes of men who see all honor in themselves. At last my mind was free from the gnawing anxieties of ambition and gain, from wallowing in filth and scratching the itching sore of lust. I began to talk to you freely, O Lord my God, my Light, my Wealth, and my Salvation.

(A multitude of variations possible ... amaretto, chocolate, grand marnier,
etc.)
A food processor makes this whole thing VERY easy.  You just toss stuff in
and blend.  You can make it without one, but it is more work.  A spring
form pan will give you a pretty cake. But it tastes just as good baked in a
regular cake pan and served a little on the mangled side.
crust: Toss it all in a food processor and blend.  Crumbs should stick
together.  If they don't, add a little more melted butter.  Pack into
bottom and up the sides of a springform pan
filling: Once again, toss it all in a food processor and blend until
smooth. Pour into the prepared crust. Bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees ... or
until filling is firm and top is golden brown. When cake is cooled you can
add topping.
Topping: Like before ... toss it all in a food processor, and go at it.
Pour on cake.  Chill for about an hour so it sets up nice.  Put the cake on
your serving plate and remove the springform pan.
If you want to be really decadent, pour a can of prepared cherry pie
filling over the whole thing just before serving.
Serve with bedraggled but proud look, and tell all your friends the effort
involved is worth it for the look on their faces. ;-)
CAUTION:  Once people try this, they MAY keep asking you to make them one.
