Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup strong brewed espresso, cooled
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder for dusting
- Chocolate shavings for garnish (optional)
- Coffee beans for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated, then press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Set aside.
- Make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the cooled espresso and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Whip the Cream: In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
- Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour the filling over the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
- Serve: Once set, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Dust the top with cocoa powder and garnish with chocolate shavings and coffee beans if desired. Slice and enjoy!
