How to Make Mocha Cheesecake

Step 1

Make the Crust: Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). In a bowl, mix crushed chocolate cookies, melted butter, and sugar. Press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then let it cool.

Step 2

Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and beat again. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in sour cream, heavy cream, and vanilla extract then Add the Mocha Flavor: In a small cup, dissolve the coffee granules in 1 tablespoon of hot water. Add the coffee mixture and the melted chocolate to your cream cheese filling. Mix well until smooth.

Step 3

Assemble and Bake: Pour the filling over the cooled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for about 55–65 minutes or until the center is almost set. It should still jiggle slightly in the middle and Cool and Chill: Let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly open for 1 hour. Then, move it to the fridge and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.

Step 4

Serve: Once set, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings. Slice and enjoy!

What to Eat with Mocha Cheesecake ??

I usually eat this Mocha Cheesecake alone because it’s delicious on its own. Sometimes I like to have it with a refreshing and delicious drink. When I have guests over, I garnish it with a little Greek yogurt and a little honey and serve it with a warm drink like hot cocoa or milk. My kids love it with a scoop of cream to add a touch of sweetness. It’s really delicious.
