Ingredients


For the Crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups crushed chocolate graham crackers
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup sour cream

For the Coffee Mousse:

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoons instant coffee powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Garnish (optional):

  • Chocolate shavings
  • Whipped cream
  • Coffee beans

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and set aside.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed chocolate graham crackers, melted butter, and granulated sugar for the crust. Press the mixture evenly onto the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until set. Remove from the oven and let it cool while you prepare the filling.
  3. In another mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and sour cream until combined.
  4. Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
  5. While the cheesecake is cooling, prepare the coffee mousse. In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, instant coffee powder, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  6. Once the cheesecake has cooled, spread the coffee mousse over the top, smoothing it with a spatula. Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or until set.
  7. Before serving, garnish with chocolate shavings, whipped cream, and coffee beans if desired. Slice and enjoy this irresistible coffee mousse cheesecake!

Tip: For best results, chill the mixing bowl and beaters in the refrigerator before whipping the cream for the mousse.
