How to Make Coffee Liqueur Kahlua Cheesecake

- Beat in 3 large eggs one at a time, followed by 120ml sour cream and 1 tbsp lemon juice.
- Pour half of the cheesecake mixture into the prepared crust.
- **Chocolate Swirl:** In a double boiler, combine 100g roughly chopped dark chocolate, 2 tbsp instant coffee powder, 50ml Kahlua liqueur, 2 tbsp water, and 1 lightly beaten egg yolk.
