Instructions:
-
Preheat oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400ยฐF (200ยฐC), ensuring it’s adequately warmed for the baking process.
-
Prepare the crust: In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of butter (melted) with 1 cup of sugar. Blend until well incorporated.
-
Press into pie plate: Press the butter and sugar mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie plate, ensuring an even layer across the bottom and up the sides.
-
Bake the crust: Place the crust in the preheated oven and bake for 5 minutes, allowing it to set and firm up slightly.
-
Melt chocolate: In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt 2 bars of baking chocolate until smooth and creamy.
-
Combine ingredients: To the melted chocolate, add 2 packs of cream cheese, 2 large eggs, and 2 cups of sugar.
-
Beat until creamy: Using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed, beat the chocolate and cream cheese mixture for approximately 2 minutes, or until smooth and creamy in texture.
-
Add coffee and salt: Stir in 1/3 cup of instant coffee and 1 teaspoon of salt, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
-
Pour into crust: Carefully pour the mocha cheesecake filling into the prepared crust, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
-
Bake again: Place the cheesecake in the preheated oven at 400ยฐF (200ยฐC) for 10 minutes to set the top.
-
Reduce oven temperature: After 10 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 325ยฐF (160ยฐC) to prevent over-browning.
-
Continue baking: Allow the cheesecake to bake for an additional 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
-
Cool in oven: Once baked, turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar to cool gradually. This helps prevent cracking.
-
Prepare topping: In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup of melted baking chocolate with 1 cup of sugar. Bring to a gentle boil, stirring constantly until smooth.
-
Drizzle and serve: Once cooled, drizzle the chocolate topping over the mocha cheesecake. Slice and serve to enjoy this delectable dessert!
