Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. 2. In a large bowl, mix graham crumbs, melted butter, sugar and Frangelico. 3. Press into bottom of a greased, 9 x 13 glass pan. Bake for 8 minutes and remove from oven to cool slightly. 4. In small bowl pour 1/4 cup whole milk, sprinkle gelatin over to soften and let rest 5-10 minutes. 5. In separate bowl, cream together cream cheese, sour cream, sugar and eggs. 6. Add in salt, vanilla, Grand Marnier and flour. 7. Mix in gelatin/milk mix. Beat with a whisk until well incorporated. 8. Pour cheesecake mixture over baked crust and spread to evenly layer it. 9. Put 1″ of water into a separate oven safe dish and place on bottom rack of oven. Steam can help the cheesecake from cracking. 10. Bake cheesecake for 20-25 minutes. 11. Allow to cool completely at room temperature before placing in refrigerator. Must be cooled completely before adding next layer. 1. Take 1/2 cup of the milk in a small bowl and sprinkle the gelatin over. Allow to sit for 5-10 minutes to soften. 2. Combine cornstarch, sugar, salt and cocoa powder in top of double boiler. Mix until well combined. 3. Slowly whisk in the milk, making sure to use a spatula to scrape the sides and bottom to fully incorporate all ingredients. 4. Set over slowly simmering water in bottom of double boiler. 5. Using a whisk, stir for the next 15-20 minutes (it is not necessary to stir constantly). 6. Add in chopped chocolate and gelatin/milk mixture and stir for another 3-5 minutes. 7. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and Kahlua. 8. Pour over cooled cheesecake layer and allow to cool in refrigerator, uncovered until completely set (30 minutes to 3 hours or more). 1. Whip cream until stiff peaks form. 2. Spread over cooled pudding layer and grate chocolate over for garnish.
