Ingredients
1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (for crust)
½ cup unsalted butter, melted (for crust)
2 cups cream cheese, softened (for filling)
1 cup granulated sugar (for filling)
1 cup sour cream (for filling)
½ cup brewed coffee, cooled (for filling)
3 large eggs (for filling)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for filling)
Pinch of salt (for filling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and wrap the outside with aluminum foil to prevent leaks. Press the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter into the pan and bake for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the sour cream, coffee, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until smooth and combined.
- Pour the filling over the prepared crust. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until the edges are firm and the center jiggles slightly. Turn off the oven and let it cool with the door cracked for 1 hour.
- Chill the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
- Slice with a hot knife and serve chilled with whipped cream or chocolate shavings.
Notes
Mocha Version: Add chocolate ganache or swirl melted chocolate into the batter for a mocha twist.
Gluten-Free Option: Use a gluten-free crust made from ground almonds or gluten-free cookies.
Decaf Version: Use decaf coffee for a less caffeinated cheesecake.
