Chocolate Cheesecake Bars
Ingredients
  • 1 3/4 cups  crushed chocolate sandwich cookies with white filling (18 cookies)
  • 1/4 cup  butter, melted
  • 1 ounce  semisweet chocolate, melted
  • 8 ounces  semisweet chocolate, chopped
  • 3/4 cup  whipping cream
  • 1 3 ounce package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tablespoon  chocolate liqueur (optional)
  • 1/2 cup  miniature semisweet chocolate pieces
  • 1 recipe Sweetened Whipped Cream
Directions

1. Line a 9x9x2-inch baking pan with foil, extending the foil over edges of pan. Lightly grease the foil; set aside. For crust, in a large bowl combine crushed cookies, butter, and the 1 ounce melted semisweet chocolate, stirring until well mixed. Press into the bottom of the prepared pan. Chill while making filling.

2. For filling, in a small microwave-safe bowl combine the 8 ounces chopped semisweet chocolate and the whipping cream. Microwave on 100-percent power (high) about 2 minutes or until almost melted, stirring once. Stir until smooth.

3. In a medium bowl beat cream cheese and, if desired, chocolate liqueur with an electric mixer on medium to high speed until smooth. Gradually add chocolate-whipping cream mixture, beating until smooth. Spread evenly over crust. Let stand for 15 minutes. Sprinkle with the chocolate pieces. Chill for 4 to 24 hours or until set. Cut into bars. Serve with Sweetened Whipped Cream.
