List of Ingredients

Crust
2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
1/2 cup butter, melted

Filling
2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
2 teaspoons instant coffee granules
2 (8 ounces) packages cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
3 eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Topping
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips


Recipe

Crust:
Combine cookie crumbs and melted butter and mix well; press into the bottom of an ungreased 13x9-inch baking pan.

Filling:
Combine whipping cream and coffee granules and let stand for 5 minutes, or until coffee dissolves.

In a large bowl of an electric mixer, combine cream cheese and sugar; beat, scraping the bowl often, until creamy, about 1 minute.
Add reserved coffee mixture, eggs and vanilla; beat, scraping often, just until combined.
Pour over reserved crust and bake in a preheated 350° oven for 20-25 minutes, or until center is nearly set.

Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack for one hour.

Topping:
Place whipping cream in a small saucepan and heat over medium just until it comes to a boil, about one minute. Remove from heat and add chocolate chips, stirring until melted.
Spread over cheesecake and refrigerate until chocolate sets, about 1 hour.
