How to make it

  • To prepare the crust, place all of the crust ingredients in a medium-sized bowl, and toss with a fork or mix with your hands until well-blended.
  • Place the crust mixture in a 9" springform pan or a deep-dish pie pan. Using the back of a spoon or your hands, press the crumbs firmly around the bottom and side of the pan. Refrigerate the crust for at least 1 hour, or until very cold.
  • To make the filling, place the cream cheese in a large mixing bowl, and beat with an electric mixer until very soft. Add the sugar and beat into the cream cheese.
  • Dissolve the instant coffee in the hot water, and beat into the cream cheese mixture. Then beat in the eggs, 1 at a time, until well-blended.
  • Add the sour cream and the liqueur, if desired, to the filling, and beat slowly until thoroughly combined.
  • Pour the filling into the chilled crust and bake in a preheated 350 degrees oven for 40 minutes, or until the filling is set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Place the pan on a wire rack, and cool for 40 to 60 minutes, or until cake reaches room temperature.
  • To make the topping, place the sour cream in a medium-sized mixing bowl and gently stir in the remaining ingredients. When well-blended, spread the topping over the cooled cheesecake.
  • Bake the "topped" cheesecake in a preheated 425 degrees oven for 5 minutes, or just long enough to set the sour cream. Allow to cool on a wire rack. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before cutting into wedges and serving.
