Ingredients
For the Crust:
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
½ cup melted butter
2 tablespoons white sugar
For the Filling:
3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
½ cup white sugar
½ cup brown sugar
3 large eggs
1 (8 oz) container sour cream
⅓ cup brewed espresso or strong coffee
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
For the Topping:
Fresh whipped cream
Salted caramel drizzle (or store-bought caramel)
Optional: Biscoff crumbs for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick spray.
- In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until it resembles wet sand. Press into the bottom and about 1 inch up the sides of the pan. Bake for 8 minutes, then cool on a wire rack. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (165°C).
- In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Gradually add white and brown sugars, and mix in eggs one at a time. Stir in sour cream, brewed espresso, and vanilla extract. Pour the batter over the cooled crust.
- Bake for 1 hour and 5 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven, crack the oven door, and let the cheesecake rest for 15 minutes inside.
- Cool the cheesecake completely on a wire rack, then refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight to set.
- Before serving, top with whipped cream, salted caramel drizzle, and optional Biscoff crumbs. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
Let the cheesecake set for another 1-2 hours in the fridge after topping with whipped cream and caramel drizzle to prevent the whipped cream from melting too quickly.
If you don’t have espresso, strong coffee can be used as a substitute.
Biscoff crumbs are optional but provide a nice extra crunch and enhance the caramel macchiato flavor.
