    Ingredients
    • 35 Mr. Christie's Chocolate Wafers, finely crushed (about 1-3/4 cups)
    • 1 cups toasted skinned hazelnuts, coarsely chopped, divided
    • 1/4 cup butter, melted
    • 4 pkg. (250 g each) brick cream cheese, softened
    • 1-3/4 cups sugar, divided
    • 1 cup sour cream
    • 4 eggs
    • 1-1/2 tsp. instant coffee
    • 1/3 cup coffee-flavoured liqueur
    • 1/4 cup water
Preparation
  • Heat  oven to 325ºF.
  • Line  13x9-inch pan with foil, with ends of foil extending over sides. Mix wafer crumbs, 1/2 cup nuts and butter; press onto bottom of prepared pan.
  • Beat  cream cheese and 3/4 cup sugar in large bowl with mixer until well blended. Add sour cream; mix well. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing on low speed after each just until blended. Dissolve coffee granules in liqueur; stir into batter. Pour over crust.
  • Bake  45 to 50 min. or until centre is almost set. Meanwhile, bring remaining sugar and water to boil in small saucepan on medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Continue boiling, without stirring, 5 to 7 min. or until syrup is thickened and begins to turn golden brown. Remove from heat. Stir in remaining nuts. Spread onto parchment-covered baking sheet. Cool cheesecake and nut brittle.
  • Refrigerate  cheesecake 4 hours. Use foil handles to lift cheesecake from pan before cutting to serve. Break nut brittle into 16 pieces; place 1 on top of each cheesecake piece.

Recipe Tips

Size-WiseDessert can be part of a balanced diet, but remember to keep tabs on portions.

Toasting NutsTo easily toast nuts, spread them in single layer in shallow pan. Bake at 350°F for 5 to 10 min. or until golden brown, stirring occasionally.

How to Crush WafersTo crush wafers without using a food processor, place wafers in large resealable plastic bag. Press bag to remove excess air before sealing bag. Then crush wafers with rolling pin.
