4 oz. unsweetened chocolate melted and cooled |
1 teaspoon unsalted butter |
1/3 cup graham cracker crumbs, or other plain cookie crumbs |

1/4 cup brandy |
2 tablespoons vanilla |
5 eggs |
1/4 cup sweet chocolate chips or white chocolate chips for a black and white cake |

2. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese until fluffy. beat in sugar, brandy and vanilla until very smooth. beat in eggs, just long enough to incorporate.
