Melt the chocolate chips and Kahlua over low heat, stirring often, until smooth. In another medium-size bowl place the melted milk chocolate, then slowly whisk in a

little of the cheesecake mixture, whisking constantly to create a smooth mixture. Add the milk chocolate mixture back into the cheesecake mixture and stir until completely blended.

Bake the cheesecake until the center is solid, about 1-1/2 hours. Remove from the water bath and let the cake cool completely. Then chill in the refrigerator. Garnish at serving.
