Description
A rich and indulgent Mocha Cheesecake made with dark chocolate and coffee, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 26 Oreo cookies, crushed
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 5 ounces dark chocolate (50-70% cocoa), finely chopped
- 1 cup whipping cream
- 1 1/2 teaspoons instant coffee powder
- 24 ounces full-fat cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
- 4 ounces dark chocolate (50-70% cocoa)
- 1/2 cup whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon instant coffee powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Wrap a 9-inch springform pan with tin foil.
- Crush the Oreo cookies and mix them with the melted butter. Press this mixture into the bottom of the springform pan and bake for 8-10 minutes.
- Melt the chopped dark chocolate with 1/2 cup of hot cream; stir until smooth. Mix the instant coffee into the remaining hot whipping cream.
- Beat the cream cheese until smooth, then add the sugar and cornstarch. Mix in the eggs one at a time.
- Divide the batter in half. Mix one half with the melted chocolate and the other half with the coffee cream.
- Layer the chocolate batter over the crust, then spoon the coffee batter on top. Place the springform pan in a roasting pan and pour boiling water around it.
- Bake for 50-65 minutes until the center wobbles slightly. Cool in the oven for 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 6 hours.
- For the ganache, heat 1/2 cup of cream until almost boiling. Pour over chopped chocolate and stir until smooth.
- Beat 1/2 cup of cream with instant coffee until stiff peaks form; pipe on the cooled cheesecake.
- Slice and serve the cheesecake.
Notes
Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature for a smoother batter. It’s better to make the cheesecake a day in advance for optimal flavor.
