Steps:
- CHOCOLATE COOKIE CRUMB CRUST: Combine chocolate cookie crumbs with melted butter and cinnamon.
- Toss and mix well.
- Press into the bottom and partially up the sides of a 9 inch springform pan.
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- CHEESE FILLING: Put the cream cheese in a mixing bowl and beat until light and soft.
- Add 3/4 cup of the sugar and mix well.
- Stir in the creme de menthe, creme de cacao, flour and salt.
- Beat until the mixture is blended well.
- Add the egg yolks and sour cream, and beat until the batter is smooth and blended.
- In a different bowl, combine the egg whites and 1/4 cup remaining sugar and beat until the whites stand in soft peaks.
- Fold the beaten whites into the cream-cheese mixture.
- Pour the batter into the crust and bake for about 1 hour, or until the cake has puffed and trembles just slightly when shaken.
- A wooden skewer inserted in the cake should come out almost clean, with just a trace of batter or moist crumbs on it.
- Don't overbake; it will settle and firm somewhat as it cools.
- Don't worry if the cake cracks as it bakes.
- Remove and cool.
- Refrigerate if standing more than 4 hours.
- Garnish the top with grated chocolate.
- ENJOY!
