Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | cups | Crushed chocolate wafers |
| ¼ | pounds | Butter; melted |
| 3 | pounds | Cream cheese; at room temperature |
| 1½ | cup | Sugar |
| 6 | Eggs; at room temperature | |
| 1 | cup | Heavy cream |
| ½ | cup | Flour |
| 1 | pinch | Salt |
| 1 | teaspoon | Vanilla |
| 1 | cup | Melted milk chocolate |
| 2 | pints | Fresh berries; assorted |
| ¼ | cup | Grand mariner |
| 2 | cups | Sweetened whip cream |
| 12 | Sprigs fresh mint | |
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Combine the crumbs and the butter together. Mix well and press into a 10 inch spring-form pan.
3. In a food processor, with the metal blade, process the cream cheese until smooth.
4. Add 1 cup of the sugar and blend.
5. Add the eggs one at a time to thoroughly incorporate into the cheese mixture. Add the heavy cream. Add the flour, salt and vanilla and blend until smooth.
6. In a steady stream, pour in the melted chocolate. Pour mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until the cake is set.
7. Remove from the oven and with a knife loosen the sides from the pan.
This will prevent the cake from splitting down the center.
8. Completely cool the cake before cutting.
9. In a mixing bowl, combine the remaining sugar, berries, and Grand Marnier, mix well.
10. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours.
11. Slice the cake into twelve slices and garnish each slice with the berries, sweetened whip cream and fresh mint sprigs.
