Crafting Your Very Own Caramel Chocolate Coffee Cheesecake

Ingredients:

• 1 1⁄2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
• 1⁄2 cup butter (melted)
• 1 cup dark chocolate or milk chocolate (melted)
• 2 packages cream cheese (400 g total)
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 package cream cheese (200 g)
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup cream
• 2 teaspoons instant coffee (dissolved in 1 tablespoon hot water)
• 2 eggs
• Caramel sauce (can be store-bought)
• Extra melted chocolate for garnish (optional)

Directions:

1. Prepare the base: Mix the cookie crumbs with melted butter. Press this mixture into the bottom of a springform pan and chill in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes.
2. Make the chocolate layer: In a bowl, combine cream cheese and sugar. Add the eggs one by one, mixing on low speed. Pour in the melted chocolate and stir well. Pour this mixture over your chilled cookie base and smooth it out with a spatula.
3. Create the coffee layer: In another bowl, mix cream cheese, sugar, and cream. Stir in the dissolved coffee and the eggs, and blend everything until well combined. Gently pour this mixture on top of the chocolate layer.
4. Bake: Preheat your oven to 160 °C (320 °F). Place the cheesecake in the oven and bake for 45–55 minutes. The cake is ready when the center jiggles just a little. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake rest inside with the door open for about 20 minutes.
5. Cool down: After it reaches room temperature, let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, but overnight is best for the flavors to meld together.
6. Serve: Drizzle generously with caramel sauce, and add a thin line of melted chocolate if desired. Slice and serve cold.
