  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes

Ingredients

For the Crust:
– 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
– 1/3 cup granulated sugar
– 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the Filling:
– 24 oz (three 8 oz packages) cream cheese, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 3 large eggs
– 1 cup sour cream
– 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
– 2 tablespoons brewed espresso, cooled
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Topping:
– 1 cup heavy whipping cream
– 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
– Additional cocoa powder or finely grated chocolate for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your own Espresso Cheesecake:

1. Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 325°F (163°C).
2. Prepare the Crust: In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
3. Bake the Crust: Bake the crust for about 10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool while preparing the filling.
4. Make the Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the granulated sugar, continuing to mix.
5. Add Eggs: Incorporate the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
6. Mix in Remaining Ingredients: Add the sour cream, flour, brewed espresso, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth and well blended.
7. Pour into Crust: Pour the filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
8. Bake the Cheesecake: Place the cheesecake in the preheated oven and bake for 50 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly.
9. Cool Down: Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour. Once cooled, remove it from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
10. Prepare the Topping: Before serving, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
11. Frost the Cheesecake: Spread the whipped cream over the top of the cheesecake evenly.
12. Garnish: Optionally, sprinkle cocoa powder or finely grated chocolate on top for an elegant finish.

Follow these steps carefully, and you will create an amazing Espresso Cheesecake that stands out with its rich flavors and beautiful presentation.
