How to make Cappuccino Cheesecake

Things You'll Need

• 1/2 c. melted butter
• 3 oz. chopped semisweet chocolate squares
• 1 3/4 c. crushed chocolate wafer cookies

• 1 1/2 lb. cream cheeses
• 3 eggs
• 2 tbsp. coffee liqueur
• 2 tbsp. water

Step One

Mix the melted butter and crushed cookies together well.

Step Two

Place a round of parchment paper in the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, then pack the crust mixture on the bottom and sides. Use the flat bottom of a glass to press the crust flat. Chill while making the filling.

Step Three

Heat the oven to 325 degrees F.

Step Four

Place the chocolate, 2 tbsp. water and espresso powder in a double boiler or small saucepan over low heat. Melt and stir until smooth.

Step Five

Stir in coffee liqueur, then cool.

Step Six

In a mixing bowl beat the cream cheese and vanilla, by hand or with an electric mixer, until smooth.

Step Seven

Add the sugar and flour and beat just until incorporated. Add the eggs and coffee/chocolate mixture and beat until combined.

Step Eight

Pour mixture over the crumb crust, then bake for 1 hour or until just set. (See tips for doneness.)

Step Nine

Let cool completely at room temperature before chilling.
