 Cheesecake:
   Heat oven to 325 degrees.
   Slowly heat chocolate, butter and Kahlua in a small saucepan, stirring until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth. Set aside and cool slightly.
   Add softened cream cheese, continuing to beat until smooth. Beat in eggs, then beat in sugar, salt and sour cream. Gradually beat in chocolate mixture. Pour into chocolate crumb crust. Bake for 40 minutes, or just until filling is barely set in center.

Oh now this sounds quite tasty

BTW with Kahlua only about 45 proof which means 22% by volume you are not going to get drunk no matter how hard you try especially since the recipe only calls for 2 oz.
