  • 1 2/3 c Chocolate wafers; crushed
  • 1/3 c Butter; melted

 Directions

FILLING
2 pk Gelatin, unflavored
1/4 ts Salt
1 tb Coffee, instant
2 c Milk
4 Egg; separated
1/3 c Irish cream liqueur
1 lb Cream cheese
1/2 c Sugar
4 oz Chocolate, semi-sweet

CRUST: In bowl, combine wafers and butter. Press into 13 x 9 inch glass

remaing sugar and beat until stiff peaks form. Gently fold egg whites into
coffee mixture. Transfer 1-1/2 cups of coffee mixture to small bowl and
fold in chocolate. Using large spoon, alternately spoon two mixtures over
chocolate crust. Use knife to swirl chocolate through coffee mixture.
