Crust:
1-1/2 cups crushed brown edge wafers
1/2 cup finely chopped macadamia nuts
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Filling:
4-8 ounce packages cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
4 eggs
1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 pound white chocolate, melted
1 tablespoon Praline liquor*
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup coarsely chopped toasted macadamia nuts

*Check your local liquor store for Praline Liqueur. Otherwise, go to http://www.internetwines.com/rws18106.html to purchase it online. I would think that Amaretto, cherry or any flavored liqueur that is compatible with the flavors in the recipe would work.

Garnish with:
Semi-sweet chocolate, melted
White chocolate leaves
Whole macadamia nuts

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Crust: Combine all ingredients and press onto bottom and part way up sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake 10 minutes. Cool on wire rack while preparing filling.

Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Add sugar and mix well. Add eggs one at a time. Stir in butter. Add melted chocolate, liqueur and vanilla. Fold in nuts. Pour mixture into crust. Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees F. Bake 1-1/2 hours until set. Cool completely on wire rack. Cover and refrigerate for several hours of overnight.
