Ingredients
– 15 chocolate sandwich cookies finely crushed for the crust
– 1/4 cup (about 56 grams) butter, melted
– 2 tablespoons plus 1 1/2 teaspoons instant coffee granules
– 1 tablespoon hot water
– 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 4 packages (8 ounces each, about 900 grams total) cream cheese, softened
– 1 1/2 cups (300 grams) sugar
– 1/4 cup (30 grams) all-purpose flour
– 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
– 4 large eggs, lightly beaten
– 2 cups (340 grams) semisweet chocolate chips, melted and cooled
– 1/2 cup (85 grams) semisweet chocolate chips for glaze
– 3 tablespoons (42 grams) butter for glaze
– Chocolate-covered coffee beans for glaze (optional)
Instructions
1-First, prepare a 9-inch springform pan by greasing it and wrapping the bottom and sides securely with a double layer of heavy-duty foil to prevent water leakage. Combine the crushed cookies with melted butter and press the mixture firmly onto the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust. In a separate small bowl, mix instant coffee granules, hot water, and ground cinnamon; set aside.
2-In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, flour, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth. Gradually add the lightly beaten eggs, mixing on low speed just until combined. Divide the batter evenly into two portions, stir melted chocolate into one portion and pour it over the crust, then stir the coffee mixture into the other portion and gently spoon it over the chocolate layer.
3-Place the springform pan inside a larger baking pan and pour about 1 inch of hot water into the larger pan to create a water bath. Bake at 325Β°F (163Β°C) for 60 to 65 minutes or until the center is just set and the top is matte. Remove the springform pan from the water bath and discard the foil, then cool the cheesecake on a wire rack for 10 minutes, loosen the edges with a knife, and let it cool for another hour before refrigerating overnight.
4-Before serving, remove the pan rim. For the glaze, melt the chocolate chips and butter together in a microwave, stirring until smooth, and spread it evenly over the cheesecake. Optionally, decorate with chocolate-covered coffee beans.
Notes
π― To test doneness, tap the side of the pan gently with a wooden spoon; the cheesecake should wobble slightly in the center but not ripple
πͺ Use a glass or measuring cup base to press the crust firmly into the pan for a compact, sturdy base
βοΈ Store the cheesecake covered in the refrigerator for up to five days or freeze for up to two months, thawing in the refrigerator before serving
