1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Coffee Cream:
1 cup chilled whipping cream
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon instant coffee powder
Chocolate curls as garnish
For Crust:
Preheat oven to 325° F. Coat a 9 inch spring form pan with vegetable cooking spray.
Combine crumbs and sugar in pan. Stir in butter. Press mixture into bottom and 1 inch up the sides of the pan.
Bake until light brown, usually about 7 minutes. Maintain oven temperature at 325° F.
For Filling:
Beat cream cheese until smooth with and electric mixer. Gradually add sugar, then eggs one at a time, then Bailey's and finally the vanilla.
Sprinkle half of the chocolate chips over crust. Spoon in filling.

Two out of two people in this house agree - this thing is sinful! I'm going to make it for Thanksgiving at my mom's, but D. insists we really must "trial run" it here first. So I won't display deficient mad cooking skillz in front of my mom, you see...;)
