What You Need

35 Mr. Christie's Chocolate Wafers, finely crushed (about 1-3/4 cups)

1-1/2 cups toasted skinned hazelnuts, coarsely chopped, divided

1/4 cup butter, melted

4 pkg. (250 g each) Philadelphia Brick Cream Cheese, softened

1-3/4 cups sugar, divided

1 cup sour cream

4 eggs

1-1/2 tsp. Maxwell House Instant Coffee Original Roast

1/3 cup coffee-flavoured liqueur

1/4 cup water

Make It

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.

kraft kitchens tips

Size-Wise

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

Toasting Nuts

To 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 Wafers

To 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.
