I've posted several Chocolate Cheesecake Recipes over the years from Chocolate to Double Chocolate to Triple Chocolate Cheesecake, but here's yet another -- Boozy Triple Chocolate Cheesecake. Perfect for today's Food Holiday: National Cheesecake Day. This recipe is adapted from CookingLight. The original recipe calls for reduced fat cheeses and low-fat sour cream and less sugar than my adaptation. 
Boozy Triple Chocolate Cheesecake 
Ingredients
1/4 cup
   sugar
1 Tbsp unsalted butter
1 Tbsp
   egg white
1 1/3 cups
   chocolate graham cracker crumbs (about 16 crackers)
Vegetable cooking spray
3 Tbsp
   dark rum 
3 ounces semisweet chocolate
1/4 cup
   chocolate syrup
16 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup
   sugar
2 Tbsp
   unsweetened cocoa
1 tsp
   vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
2 
   eggs
1/2 cup sour cream
1 Tbsp
   sugar
2 tsp
   unsweetened cocoa
Raspberries for decoration
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°.
Crust
Place
 first 3 ingredients in bowl; beat on medium speed until 
blended. Add crumbs; stir well. Firmly press mixture into bottom and 1 
inch up sides of an 8-inch springform pan coated with cooking spray. 
Bake at 350° for 10 minutes; let cool on wire rack.  
Filling
Combine rum 
and chocolate in top of double boiler (or saucepan over saucepan over simmering water). Cook over simmering
 water 2 minutes or until chocolate melts, stirring frequently. Remove

Preheat 
oven to 300°.
Place cream cheese in large bowl; beat at medium speed of a 
mixer until smooth. Add 1 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons cocoa, vanilla, and 
salt; beat until smooth. Add rum/chocolate mixture; beat at low speed until 
well-blended. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition.
Pour
 cheese mixture into prepared pan; bake at 300° for 40 minutes or until 
almost set.
Combine sour cream, 1 Tbsp, and 2 teaspoons 
cocoa; stir well. Turn oven off, and spread sour cream mixture over 
cheesecake. Let cheesecake stand for 45 minutes in oven with door 
closed.
Remove cheesecake from oven, and let cool to room temperature. 
Cover and chill at least 8 hours.
