1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. Combine the crumbs and the butter together. Mix well and press into a 10 inch spring-form pan.

3. In a food processor, with the metal blade, process the cream cheese until smooth.

4. Add 1 cup of the sugar and blend.

5. Add the eggs one at a time to thoroughly incorporate into the cheese mixture. Add the heavy cream. Add the flour, salt and vanilla and blend until smooth.

6. In a steady stream, pour in the melted chocolate. Pour mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until the cake is set.

7. Remove from the oven and with a knife loosen the sides from the pan. This will prevent the cake from splitting down the center.

8. Completely cool the cake before cutting.

9. In a mixing bowl, combine the remaining sugar, berries, and Grand Marnier, mix well.

10. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours.

11. Slice the cake into twelve slices and garnish each slice with the berries, sweetened whip cream and fresh mint sprigs.
