Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 2 teaspoons instant coffee granules (dissolved in 2 tablespoons hot water)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional toppings: whipped cream, chocolate shavings, caramel drizzle

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a bowl. Mix until evenly moistened, then press the mixture into the bottom of your springform pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the sour cream, dissolved coffee, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  3. Pour the filling over the cooled crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
  4. Place the springform pan on a baking sheet and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly. Remove from the oven and cool completely on a wire rack.
  5. Once cooled, cover the cheesecake and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (overnight is even better!).
  6. Slice and serve cold, topped with your favorite garnishes like whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or caramel drizzle.

Notes

[‘Use room temperature ingredients for the filling to avoid lumps and achieve a smooth texture.’, ‘If your cheesecake cracks, cover it with whipped cream or chocolate shavings.’, ‘Don’t overmix the batter once the eggs are added to maintain a creamy texture.’, ‘For a stronger coffee flavor, increase the instant coffee granules to 3 teaspoons.’, ‘Let the cheesecake cool completely before chilling to prevent condensation.’]
