Ingredients

How to make it

  • Directions for the Crust:
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, combine the cookie crumbs and the sugar, then add the melted butter and mix until thoroughly incorporated.
  • Press the mixture on the bottom only of a 10" springform pan.
  • Set aside while you prepare the filling.
  • Directions for the Filling:
  • Brew the coffee.
  • Use an electric mixer on medium speed or mix by hand in a large bowl.
  • Beat the cream cheese until no lumps exist, then add the sugar and beat until the mixture is light and creamy.
  • Mix in the mascarpone cheese until the mixture is smooth.
  • Add both the eggs and egg yolks and combine thoroughly.
  • Add the chocolate and the coffee.
  • Pour into the springform pan and place in the oven.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees F and bake the cheesecake for one hour.
  • Turn the oven off and allow the cheesecake to rest in the oven until cooled and set, about 1 1/2 hours. (You can let it remain in the oven overnight.)
  • When set, remove the cake from the oven and cover with plastic wrap.
  • Chill until ready to serve.
  • To plate, cut a slice and lay on its sides; cover with fresh berries.
