Hmm... I'm not quite sure. This is my first thanksgiving since I

purchased

the "needs some TLC", so I'll have to report back once we leave the soup
kitchen.

Well I'll contribute a recipe for you

Bailey's Irish Crème Cheesecake

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups chocolate wafers finely crushed
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup butter or margarine
3 (8 ounce) packages of softened cream cheese
1 1/4 cups white sugar
1/4 cup cocoa
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 eggs
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup Bailey's Irish Creme
Directions:

To Make Crust: Mix together the cookie crumbs, confectioners' sugar, and
cocoa.
Add melted butter or margarine and stir until well mixed.
Pat into the bottom of a 9 inch springform pan.

Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) oven for 10 minutes,
set aside.

Combine cream cheese, sugar, cocoa and flour,
mixing at medium speed with electric mixer until well blended.

Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Blend in the sour cream and Bailey's Irish Creme, mix on low until blended.
Pour over baked crust.

Bake at 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) for 10 minutes.
Reduce oven temperature to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C)
and continue baking for 60 minutes. Remove from oven.

With a knife, loosen cake from rim of pan, let cool then remove the rim
of pan.
Chill before serving. If your cake cracks, a helpful tip is to dampen a
spatula
and smooth the top and then sprinkle with some chocolate wafer crumbs.

Makes 1 - 9 inch Springform Pan

Enjoy!
