Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the crust
  • 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
  • 0.25 cups granulated sugar
For the filling
  • 24 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cups sour cream
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cups brewed coffee, cooled
  • 0.5 cups cocoa powder
  • 1 cups caramel sauce store-bought or homemade
For garnish
  • Whipped cream
  • Shaved chocolate
  • Drizzle of caramel sauce

Method
 

Preparation of Crust
  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until the mixture resembles damp sand.
  2. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer.
  3. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove and let cool.
Preparation of Filling
  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with granulated sugar until smooth.
  2. Add sour cream, vanilla extract, and brewed coffee, mixing until completely blended.
  3. Sift in cocoa powder and mix until combined.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, stirring gently to maintain the mixture's airy quality.
  5. Swirl in the caramel sauce and pour the filling onto the cooled crust, smoothing the surface.
Baking the Cheesecake
  1. Bake the cheesecake for 60 minutes, until the center is slightly jiggly.
  2. Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let the cheesecake cool gradually.
  3. After an hour, transfer to the refrigerator and let set for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
Serving
  1. Release the cheesecake from the springform pan.
  2. Top with whipped cream, shaved chocolate, and a drizzle of caramel before serving.

Notes

Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for a smoother filling. Use high-quality chocolate and fresh coffee for optimal flavor. Bring the cheesecake to room temperature before slicing for cleaner edges.
