Ingredients

  • 12 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 3 eggs, room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons coffee-flavored liqueur (such as Kahlua(R))
  • 3 (1 ounce) squares milk chocolate, coarsely chopped
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup whipped cream for garnish (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons Shaved chocolate, to garnish (optional)

Method

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
  • In a mixing bowl, blend cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing until fully incorporated before adding the next egg. Mix in 3 tablespoons whipping cream and the coffee-flavored liquor. Pour into an 8-inch glass pie pan.
  • Place chocolate in a small heat-proof bowl and set aside. In a small saucepan, bring 1/2 cup whipping cream just to a boil. Pour it over the chopped chocolate; let chocolate soften for about 3 minutes. Whisk until smooth.
  • Drizzle chocolate in a spiral pattern over filling. Stir lightly with tip of a paring knife to achieve a marbling effect. Set the pie pan in a larger pan with water that comes halfway up side of pie pan.
  • Bake in preheated oven until firm in the center, about 55 minutes. Cool completely and refrigerate, covered with plastic wrap, overnight.
  • Garnish with whipped cream piped or dolloped around edges and shaved chocolate in center.
