I have to admit my cappuccino cheesecake is one of the best things I make, because it is so sinly. With the addition of a cookie base, because a cheesecake without a cookie crust is a liar, and not a proper cheesecake. You can't be afraid to put all the bad stuff in there, because that's what makes it so "good for you." Honestly if someone didn't stop me, I could eat about 5 slices of this or just shove my whole face into it and work my way through, which believe me I was tempted to do.
Ingredients:
* 2 and a half whole containers of chocolate digestives (you can uses graham crackers, but the chocolate adds a nice rich flavor to the cookie crust)
*8 tablespoons of melted butter
*1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar
*1/2 cups of heavy cream (softened)
*4 tablespoons if instant espresso/coffee ( I used Starbucks insta packets)
*1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
*4- 8 ounce packages of cream cheese
* 4 large eggs
* 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
*Chocolate to shave over the top (I used a bar of dark chocolate
* the rest of the whipping cream to make whipped cream for the top
Directions:
*Preheat oven to 350 degrees
*Crush up cookies in plastic bag
*Melt butter in pan on the stove, once melted add the crushed cookies and mix together
*Take out spring form pan and smush cookie mixture to the bottom of the pan
*Put in oven and bake for 10 minutes
*In the meantime combine the softened cream cheese and sugar
*In a Pyrex measuring cup, put the 1/2 cups of whipping cream, vanilla, espresso/coffee, and mix together
*Add the 4 eggs one at a time to the cream cheese sugar mixture
*Then add the 2 tablespoons of flour along with the heavy cream espresso mixture
* When all mixed together out over the cooled cookie crust and bake in the oven for about 1 hour and 10 minutes depending on your oven
(Take out only if it doesn't jiggle when you shake the sides)
*Take out to cool, once cooled, place in fridge for about 3 hours or over night
* Then dress with homemade whipped cream and shaved chocolate
