Ingredients for the Perfect Mocha Cheesecake
- 200g graham cracker crumbs
- 100g unsalted butter, melted
- 500g cream cheese, softened
- 200g granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 120ml strong brewed espresso, cooled
- 50g unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: chocolate shavings and espresso beans for garnish
Steps to Prepare the Cheesecake
Start by preparing the crust. Mix the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until evenly coated. Press this mixture into the base of a springform pan and refrigerate while preparing the filling.
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Incorporate the brewed espresso, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract, blending until fully combined.
Pour the filling over the chilled crust. Bake in a preheated oven at 160°C (320°F) for about 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center slightly jiggles.
Allow the cheesecake to cool completely in the pan, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set. Before serving, garnish with chocolate shavings and a few espresso beans for an elegant touch.
