Creamy Coffee Cheesecake Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients:
  • - Graham Cracker Crust:
  • - 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • - 2 tbsp sugar
  • - 1 tbsp instant coffee granules
  • - 1/3 cup butter
  • Cheesecake Filling:
  • 24 oz cream cheese
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup sour cream
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup half n half
  • 3 tsp instant coffee
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

Instructions
 

  • Cooking Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F for the graham cracker crust. In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and instant coffee granules.
  • Melt the butter and mix it into the crumb mixture until well combined.
  • Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly.
  • Lower the oven temperature to 325°F for the cheesecake. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the sugar and mix until well incorporated.
  • Add the sour cream, eggs, half n half, instant coffee, and flour to the cream cheese mixture. Beat until the filling is smooth and creamy, making sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Pour the cheesecake filling into the cooled crust. To prevent cracking, place the springform pan in a larger baking pan filled with about 1 inch of water.
  • Bake the cheesecake for 45-55 minutes or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
  • Remove the cheesecake from the oven, allowing it to cool in the water bath for about 30 minutes before transferring it to the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Once chilled, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. Decorate the cheesecake with whipped cream, chocolate-covered espresso beans, or any other desired garnishes before serving.
  • Extra Tips:
  • For the best results, verify that all your ingredients are at room temperature before mixing, as this will lead to a smoother and creamier filling.
  • When baking, keep an eye on the cheesecake to avoid overbaking, which can lead to cracks.
  • If you prefer a no-bake version, simply follow the no-bake instructions provided and chill the cheesecake until set.
  • Experiment with different toppings like chocolate ganache or cocoa powder for added flavor and visual appeal! This cheesecake is especially appealing as it has a rich and creamy texture.
