Ingredients

How to make it

  • Crust:
  • In a good sized bowl, combine the nuts, coffee and cocoa powder together, then blend in the butter until moist.
  • Spread this evenly on the bottom of a 9-10" springform pan and set aside while you make the filling.
  • Filling:
  • Use a wooden spoon or heavy rubber spatula and a large mixing bowl.
  • Add the cream cheese first and beat until it is creamy and smooth.
  • Add the sugar and beat it in until well incorporated.
  • Add the eggs, also until well blended, then add the coffee liqueur, but just until it saturates the cream mixture; over mixing at this point can make the filling too thin.
  • Gently pour the filling into the prepared crust and set the pan on a baking sheet.
  • Bake for 1 hour at 325 °F. or until the edge is puffed but the center appears moist.
  • It should jiggle when you tap the sides of the pan.
  • Topping:
  • In a small bowl, whisk all the ingredients together.
  • Smooth on top of the cheesecake and return the cheesecake to the oven for 15 minutes or long enough for the topping to set.
  • Remove the pan from the over and cool on a rack.
  • Refrigerate, preferably overnight, before unmolding.
  • Coffee Sauce:
  • Put the coffee and sugar in a medium sized saucepan and cook over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved, stirring frequently.
  • Increase the heat and boil and cook gently until the mixture thickens coats the back of a wooden spoon.
  • Cool, then drizzle onto the serving plates and top the cheesecake with this sauce.
  • Note: and a dollop of whipped cream for garnish and perhaps a chocolate covered expresso bean to put this cheesecake over the top !
