Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1.5 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
  • 0.25 cups sugar
  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted

Filling

  • 3 packages (8-ounce) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cups sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cups sour cream
  • 0.5 cups brewed espresso or strong coffee
  • 1 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preparation: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Create the crust: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter. Stir until well combined and resembles wet sand. Press it firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  3. Mix cream cheese base: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with 1 cup sugar until smooth and creamy using an electric mixer on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add eggs and vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then sprinkle in the vanilla extract and mix until fully incorporated.
  5. Combine remaining ingredients: Add the sour cream and brewed espresso to the cream cheese mixture, blending until smooth. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  6. Assemble cheesecake: Pour the filling over the prepared crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 55-60 minutes, until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
  8. Cool in oven: Turn off the oven and crack the door open, allowing the cheesecake to cool in the oven for an hour.
  9. Chill: Transfer the cheesecake to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  10. Serve: Once chilled, release the cheesecake from the springform pan, slice, and serve.

Notes

  • Allow cheesecake to cool gradually in the oven to prevent cracking.
  • Chilling overnight enhances the flavor and texture.
